Abdullah bin Abu Mulaikah said: The daughter of Uthman bin Affan died in Makkah. We came to attend her (funeral). Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas were also present there, and I was sitting between them. He added: I (first sat) by the side of one of them, then the other one came and he sat by my side. Abdullah bin Umar said to Amr bin Uthman who was sitting opposite to him: Will you not prevent the people from lamenting, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said:" The dead is punished because of the lamenting of his family for him"? Ibn Abbas then said that Umar used to say something of that nature, and then narrated saying: I proceeded from Makkah along with Umar till we reached al-Baida and there was a party of riders under the shade of a tree. He said (to me): Go and find out who this party is. I cast a glance and there was Suhaib (in that party). So I informed him (Umar) about it. He said: Call him to me. So I went back to Suhaib and said: Go and meet the Commander of the believers. When Umar was wounded, Suhaib came walling: Alas, for the brother! alas for the companion! Umar said: O Suhaib, do you wail for me, whereas the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:" The dead would be punished on account of the lamentation of the (members of his family)"? Ibn Abbas said: When Umar died I made a mention of it to Aisha. She said: May Allah have mercy upon Umar! I swear by Allah that Allahs Messenger ﷺ never said that Allah would punish the believer because of the weeping (of any one of the members of his family), but he said that Allah would increase the punishment of the unbeliever because of the weeping of his family over him. Aisha said: The Quran is enough for you (when it states):" No bearer of burden will bear anothers burden" (vi. 164). Thereupon Ibn Abbas said: Allah is He Who has caused laughter and weeping. Ibn Abu Mulaikah said: By Allah, Ibn Umar said nothing.
