1853. It was narrated from Anas that when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ accepted the women's oath of allegiance, he accepted their pledge that they would not wail (over the death). They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, there are women who helped us to mourn during the Jâhiliyyah; should we help them to mourn?" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There is no helping to mourn in Islam." (Sahîh)
١٨٥٢ - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ حِينَ بَايَعَهُنَّ: أَنْ لَا يَنُحْنَ فَقُلْنَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ نِسَاءً أَسْعَدْنَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَفَنُسْعِدُهُنَّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا إِسْعَادَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ».

This sort of cooperation was common during the period of ignorance. It was not for the reason of expressing grief. The women rather would go forth to bewail the dead, because the female kith and kin of a deceased person would go to other's household when one of their family members died. It is forbidden to offer such requitals.
