English

[2150] 23 – (928) 'Abdullâh bin Abi Mulaikah said: "A daughter of 'Uihmân bin 'Affân died in Makkah and we came to attend her funeral. It was also attended by Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbâs, and I was sitting between them. I sat beside one of them, then the other came and sat beside me. 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said to 'Amr bin 'UThmân, who was opposite him: 'Why don't you tell them not to cry? For the Messenger of Allah said: The deceased is tormented because of the crying of his family for him." (927) – Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Umar used to say that sometimes." Then he narrated: "I set out with 'Umar from Makkah, then when we were in Al-Baidâ', we saw a party of riders in the shade of a tree. He said: 'Go and see who these riders are.' I looked and saw that it was Suhaib. I told him and he said: 'Call him to me.' So I went back to 5uhaib and said: 'Go and join the Commander of the Believers.' When 'Umar was attacked, Suhaib came in crying and saying: '0 my brother, 0 my friend!' 'Umar said: '0 Suhaib, are you crying for me, when the Messenger of Allah said: The deceased is tormented because of some of his family's crying for him."? (929) Ibn 'Abbâs said: "When i 1 3 (SS) 'Umar died, I told 'Aihah about that and she said: 'May Allah Ui have mercy on 'Umar. No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah did not say: 'Allah torments the Li 3p) :t believer because of the crying of anyone.' Rather he said: 'Allah increases the torment of the disbeliever because of his family's crying for him.' And 'Aigah said: 'JJ' :3J 'The Qur'ân is sufficient for you: …And no bearer of burdens shall :JG ['A:U] bear another's burden."['] At ku~j :U that, Ibn 'Abbâs said: "And Allah makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep." Ibn Abl Mulaikah said: "By Allah, Ibn 'Umar did not say anything."
