(15) باب النِّيَاحَةِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ
It was narrated from 'Amrah that she heard 'Aishah say:
, when she was told that Ibn 'Umar said that the deceased is punished due to the weeping of the living for him, 'Aishah said: "May Allah forgive Abu 'Abdur-Rahman; he is not lying, but he has forgotten or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah passed by a (deceased) Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said: 'They are weeping for her and she is being punished."' (AR)
