حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ تُوُفِّيَتْ ابْنَةٌ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ بِمَكَّةَ فَحَضَرَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَإِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ بَيْنَهُمَا 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 فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 290
'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah said: A daughter of 'Uthman bin 'Affan died in Makkah and Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas attended her funeral. I was sitting between them and Ibn 'Umar said to 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was facing him: Why don't you tell them not to weep? For i heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "The deceased is tormented because of his family's weeping for him." And he mentioned a hadeeth similar to that of Isma'eel from Ayyoob from Ibn Abu Mulaikah.
