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

the daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu’adh.
