1579 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، مَوْلَى الصَّهْبَاءِ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ} [الممتحنة: 12] قَالَ: «النَّوْحُ»

Commentary
The meaning of the Hadith is, that to avoid wailing is among those good deeds that the Muslim women gave their pledge to the Prophet ﷺ to obey. 'Wailing' means loudly making mention of the deceased's qualities and expressing one's grief, by saying various phrases in praise of the dead.
