Narrated ‘Aisha:
When the Prophet got the news of the death of Ibn Haritha, Ja’far and Ibn Rawaha he sat down
and looked sad and I was looking at him through the chink of the door. A man came and told him
about the crying of the women of Ja’far. The Prophet ordered him to forbid them. The man went and
came back saying that he had told them but they did not listen to him. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
“Forbid them.” So again he went and came back for the third time and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Al –
lah, they did not listen to us at all.” (‘Aisha added): Allah’s Apostle ordered him to go and put dust in
their mouths. I said, (to that man) “May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)! You
could neither (persuade the women to) fulfill the order of Allah’s Apostle nor did you relieve Allah’s
Apostle from fatigue. ”

The Prophet said, “When a funeral is ready and the men carry the deceased on their necks
(shoulders), if it was pious then it will say, ‘Present me quickly’, and if it was not pious, then it will

kind and if he heard it he would fall unconscious.”

One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home.
When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him
somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, “How is the boy?” She said, “The child is
quiet and I hope he is in peace.” Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed
the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son
had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet and informed the Prophet of
what happened to them. Allah’s Apostle said, “May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is,
may Allah bless you with good offspring).” Sufyan said, “One of the Ansar said, ‘They (i.e. Abu Talha
and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Quran (by heart).’ “

smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif’s house and at that time Ibrahim was in his last breaths,
and the eyes of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) started shedding tears. ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf said, “O Al –
lah’s Apostle, even you are weeping!” He said, “O Ibn ‘Auf, this is mercy.” Then he wept more and
said, “The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say except what pleases
our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your separation.”

Sad bin ‘Ubada became sick and the Prophet along with ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Auf, Sad bin Abi
Waqqas and ‘Abdullah bin Masud visited him to enquire about his health. When he came to him, he
found him surrounded by his household and he asked, “Has he died?” They said, “No, O Allah’s
Apostle.” The Prophet wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) they all
wept. He said, “Will you listen? Allah does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the
heart but he punishes or bestows His Mercy because of this.” He pointed to his tongue and added,
“The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him.” ‘Umar used to beat with a stick
and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of those who used to wail over the dead).
