Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 6, Hadith 159
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
passed by
some women of ‘Abdul-Ashhal who were weeping for their slain
on the
Day of Uhud. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “But there is no one to weep for Hamzah.” So the women of Ansar started to weep for Hamzah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up and said, ‘Woe to them, have they not gone home yet? Tell them to go home and not to weep for anyone who dies after this day.’”

The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah holds a significant place as one of the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islamic tradition. Its compiler, Ibn Majah, completed this work in the 9th century, with his death occurring in 886 CE. The collection is extensive, featuring around 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on diverse themes. These include core tenets of faith, the correct performance of religious rituals, ethical conduct, and rulings on social interactions. Although it is a respected compilation, it is generally accorded a lower rank in terms of overall authenticity when compared to the other five collections. This is primarily due to the inclusion of some narrations deemed less reliable by hadith critics. Nevertheless, it remains a fundamental text for academic and religious study.
