Commentary
Imām At-Tirmidhī has explained the narration of ‘Umar and clarified the weeping by which the deceased is punished and tortured. Crying with a loud voice, wailing and riping out one’s hair, narrating false attributes of the
deceased and saying untrue things about him during wailing, all this brings punishment to the dead.
