Sahih al-Bukhari 6942 (Book 93, Hadith 75)
not associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing and
lamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, “Such-and-such a woman
cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying” The
Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by her
pledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-`Ala’, and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Mu`adh or the
daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu`adh.
