حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مُوَاجِهُهُ أَلَا تَنْهَى عَنْ الْبُكَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 289
'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah narrated... and he mentioned a ha dee th similar to that of Ayyoob, except that he said: Ibn 'Umar said to 'Amr bin 'Uthman, when he was facing him: Why don't you tell them not to weep? For the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "The deceased is tormented because of his family's weeping for him."
