Commentary
If the deceased advised that people should wail over him after his death, then he is also responsible for the sin committed by wailing women. Another possible meaning of the Hadith is that 'the deceased feels uncomfortable because of wailing' as he is annoyed by the impermissible acts done at his death. Allāh knows best!
