Prohibition of Bewailing the Deceased
1657.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "T
he deceased is
tortured in his grave for bewailing over him.
''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Bewailing
'' is wailing over the dead. It is weeping loudly for the deceased describing his noble
qualities or the problems created by his death. Wailing causes trouble to the deceased if he willed his heirs to do so,
or in his own life he behaved in the same manner and his family members were following his style of mourning at
his death. But if the deceased had forbidden his relatives from wailing over his death and they do it despite his
warning against doing so, then the deceased will not suffer any torment on their wailing because his intention and
training have no connection with it. The Qur'anic injunction in this matter is absolutely clear:
"
No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden
.'' (17:15).

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who (on
befalling a calamity) slaps his cheeks, tears his clothes and follows the ways and traditions of the Days of Ignorance
is none of us
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
He is none of us
'' here signifies that he is not following the ways of Muslims
. "The ways and
traditions of the Days of Ignorance
'' means here wailing, i.e., `Alas! my lion, my moon, my support, one whose
death has rendered his children orphan etc., etc.' This is a grave sin and there is a stern warning that one who does it,
is in danger of losing his Faith because by doing so one, in fact, expresses resentment against Allah's Command.

Abu Burdah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
(My father) Abu Musa got seriously ill and lost his
consciousness. His head was in the lap of a woman of the family and she began to wail. When Abu Musa recovered
his consciousness, he said: "I am innocent of those from whom Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is innocent. Verily, the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) declared himself free of (the responsibility) for a woman who wails, shaves her head
and tears up her clothes
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith also tells us about the passion of the Companions to follow the saying and practice of
the Prophet (PBUH).

Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
saying, "
He who allows (others) to wail over his death, will be punished for it on the Day of Resurrection.'
'
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The torment mentioned in this Hadith will be inflicted on the Day of Judgement upon that person
who willed his heirs to wail on his death or who had brought up his family in such a manner that they were apt to
wail about the death of their close relatives.
