1850 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ سَالِمٌ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يُعَذَّبُ الْمَيِّتُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ»

Commentary
The deceased person is punished who dies commanding his household to wail over him, or who does not forbid their wailing, when there is a custom to do so; or when the deceased considered it good to wail during his life and encouraged it.
