1859. 'Abdul-Jabbâr bin Al-Ward narrated: "I heard Ibn Abî Mulaîkah say: 'When Umm Abân died, I attended with the people. I sat in front of 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbâs, and the women wept. Ibn 'Umar said: 'Why don't you tell them not to weep? For I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: The deceased is punished due to some of his family's weeping for him.'" Ibn 'Abbâs said: "Umar used to narrate something like that. I went out with 'Umar and when we got to on uninhabited area, he saw a caravan beneath a tree. He said: 'See whose caravan this is.' I went and I found Šuhaib and his family. I came back to him and said: 'O Commander of the Believers! This is Suhaib and his family.' He said: 'Bring Suhaib to me.' When we entered Al-Madinah, 'Umar was attacked and Suhaib sat by him, weeping and saying, 'O my brother, O my brother.' 'Umar said: 'O Suhaib, do not weep, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: The deceased is punished due to some of the weeping of his family for him. He said: I mentioned that to 'Aishah and she said: 'By Allāh you are not narrating this Ḥadīth from two liars who have disbelieved, but sometimes you mishear. And in the Qur'an you have that which gives you the answer: And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden.[1] And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāh increases the punishment of the disbeliever because of his family's weeping for him.'"
