English translation

1594. It was narrated from Asid bin Abu Asid, from Musa bin Abu Musa Ash'ari, from his father that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The deceased is punished for the weeping of the living. If they say: 'O my strength, O he who clothed us, O my help, O my rock,' and so on, he is rebuked and it is said: 'Were you really like that? Were you really like that?'" Asid said: "I said: 'Subhân-Allâh! Allâh says: "And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden."'[1] He said: "Woe to you, I tell you that Abu Musa narrated to me from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and you think that Abu Musa was telling lies about the Prophet ﷺ? Or do you think that I am telling lies about Abu Musa?" (Hasan)

1594 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَسِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَسِيدٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَيِّ، إِذَا قَالُوا: وَاعَضُدَاهُ، وَاكَاسِيَاهُ، وَانَاصِرَاهُ، وَاجَبَلَاهُ، وَنَحْوَ هَذَا، يُتَعْتَعُ " وَيُقَالُ: «أَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ؟ أَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ أَسِيدٌ: فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ: {وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى} [الأنعام: 164] قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ أُحَدِّثُكَ أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَرَى أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى كَذَبَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ أَوْ تَرَى أَنِّي كَذَبْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى

Commentary

The mentioned punishment explained by this Hadith is that it is because of the crying of wailing people, and also it should be known that in this Hadith 'cry' does not mean shedding tears, rather it is uttering inappropriate words with tongue that are a reason for the deceased's punishment in the grave.
