Abdullah bin Abu Mulaikah reported: I was sitting by the side of Ibn Umar, and we were waiting for the bier of Umm Aban, daughter of Uthman, and there was also Amr bin Uthman. In the meanwhile there came Ibn Abbas led by a guide. I conceive that he was informed of the place of Ibn Umar. So he came till he sat by my side. While I was between them (Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar) there came the noise (of wailing) from the house. Upon this Ibn Umar said (that is, he pointed out to Amr that he should stand and forbid them, for): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The dead is punished because of the lamentation of his family. Abdullah made it general (what was said for a particular occasion). Ibn Abbas said: When we were with the Commander of the believers, Umar bin Khattab, we reached Baida, and there was a man under the shadow of the tree. He said to me: Go and inform me who is that person. So I went and (found) that he was Suhaib. I returned to him and said: You commanded me to find out for you who that was, and he is Suhaib. He (Hadrat Umar) said: Command him to see us. I said: He has family along with him. He said: (That is of no account) even if he has family along with him. So he (the narrator) told him to see (the Commander of the believers and his party). When we came (to Madinah), it was before long that the Commander of the believers was wounded, and Suhaib came weeping and crying: Alas for the brother, alas for the companion. Upon this Umar said: Didnt you know, or didnt you hear, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:" The dead is punished because of the lamentation of his family"? Then Abdullah made it general and Umar told it of certain occasions. So I (Abdullah bin Abu Mulaikah) stood up and went to Aisha and told her what Ibn Umar had said. Upon this she said: I swear by Allah that Allahs Messenger ﷺ never said that dead would be punished because of his familys lamenting (for him). What he said was that Allah would increase the punishment of the unbeliever because of his familys lamenting for him. Verily it is Allah Who has caused laughter and weeping. No bearer of a burden will bear anothers burden. Ibn Abu Mulaikah said that al-Qasim bin Muhammad said that when the words of Umar and Ibn Umar were conveyed to AIsha, she said: You have narrated it to me from those who are neither liar nor those suspected of lying but (sometimes) hearing misleads.
