أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ هُوَ ابْنُ زَاذَانَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِنِيَاحَةِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا مَاتَ بِخُرَاسَانَ وَنَاحَ أَهْلُهُ عَلَيْهِ هَاهُنَا أَکَانَ يُعَذَّبُ بِنِيَاحَةِ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَکَذَبْتَ أَنْتَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1859
It was narrated that ‘Imran bin Husain said: “The deceased is punished due to his family’s wailing for him.” A man said to him: “A man died in Khurasan and his family wailed for him here; will he be punished due to his family’s wailing?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم spoke the truth and you are a liar.” (Sahih)
