أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ عَلَی النِّسَائِ حِينَ بَايَعَهُنَّ أَنْ لَا يَنُحْنَ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ نِسَائً أَسْعَدْنَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَفَنُسْعِدُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا إِسْعَادَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1857
It was narrated from Anas that when the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم accepted the women’s oath of allegiance, he accepted their pledge that they would not wail (over the death). They said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, there are women who helped us to mourn during the Jahiliyvah; should we help them to mourn?” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “There is no helping to mourn in Islam.” (Sahih)
