أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُکَائِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَذُکِرَ ذَلِکَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ وَهِلَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْقَبْرِ لَيُعَذَّبُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهُ يَبْکُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَی
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1860
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The deceased is punished due to his family’s weeping over him.’ Mention of that was made to ‘Aishah and she said: ‘He is wrong; rather the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم passed by a grave and said: The occupant of this grave is being punished and his family are weeping for him.” Then she recited: And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden.(Sahih)
