7215. Narrated Umm 'Aṭiyya رضي الله عنها: We gave the Bai'a (pledge) to the Prophet ﷺ and he recited to me the Verse: "...that they will not associate anything in worship with Allāh..." (V.60:12)(1) And he also prevented us from wailing and lamenting over the dead. A woman from us withdrew her hand and said, "Such and such a woman wailed over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that wailing."(1) The Prophet ﷺ did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by her pledge except Umm Sulaim, Umm Al-'Alā', and the daughter of Abu Sabra, the wife of Al-Mu'ādḥ, or the daughter of Abu Sabra, and the wife of Mu'ādḥ.

7215 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: " بَايَعْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا: {أَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا} [الممتحنة: 12]، وَنَهَانَا عَنِ النِّيَاحَةِ، فَقَبَضَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَّا يَدَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: فُلاَنَةُ أَسْعَدَتْنِي، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَهَا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا، فَذَهَبَتْ ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ، فَمَا وَفَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَّا أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَأُمُّ العَلاَءِ، وَابْنَةُ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ، امْرَأَةُ مُعَاذٍ، أَوِ ابْنَةُ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ، وَامْرَأَةُ مُعَاذٍ "
