٩٩٩ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي زُبَيْدٌ الْأَيَامِيُّ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؛ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ شَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ»، وَضَرَبَ الْخُدُودَ، وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
It is natural to feel sad upon the death of a loved one and sometimes tears roll on cheeks with grief. It is but natural, and faith does not hinder the flow of sentiments. Sometimes some people go beyond the limits, they cry, they tear off their clothes; they rip out their hair, and do many other things to show their grief. It is unlawful to behave this way.
