Volume 9, Book 89, Number 322:
Narrated Um Atiyya:
We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet and he recited to me the verse (60.12). That they
will not associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing
and lamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, "Such-and-such a wo –
man cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying"
The Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by
her pledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-'Ala', and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Muadh or
the daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu'adh.
