Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
7th Shawwal 1435 (3rd August 2014)
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Sad bin 'Ubada became sick and the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
along with 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf, Sad bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abdullah bin
Masud visited him to enquire about his health. When he came to him, he
found him surrounded by his household and he asked, "Has he died?" They
said, "No, O Allah's Apostle." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
wept and when the people saw the weeping of Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu
'Alaihi Wa Sallam) they all wept. He said, "Will you listen? Allah does not
punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart but he punishes
or bestows His Mercy because of this." He pointed to his tongue and added,
"The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him." 'Umar
used to beat with a stick and throw stones and put dust over the faces (of
those who used to wail over the dead).
