1005. Jābir bin 'Abdullāh narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ took 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf by the hand and
went with him to his son Ibrāhīm. He found him in his last breaths, so he took him and put him on his lap and cried. 'Abdur-Raḥmān said to him: 'You cry? Didn't you prohibit (your followers) from crying?' He said: 'No. But I prohibited two foolish immoral voices: A voice during a calamity while clawing at one's face and tearing one's clothes, and Shaitān's scream.'" And there is more that is stated in the Hadīth. (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan.
