English translation

[2156] 27 - (...) It was narrated that 'Amrah bint 'Abdur-Rahmân said that she heard 'Aishah - when she was told that 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar was saying that the deceased is tormented because of the crying of the living - say: "May Allâh forgive Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân. He did not tell a lie, but he forgot or was mistaken. [1] An-Naml 27:80. [2] Fâqir 35:22. Rather the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ passed by a Jewish woman for whom they were crying, and he said: 'They are crying for her, but she is being tormented in her grave.'"

Arabic text

27 - (932) وحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ، وَذُكِرَ لَهَا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَيِّ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ، وَلَكِنَّهُ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ، إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا»
