Sunan an-Nasai 1851 (Book 21, Hadith 34) #16462
Prohibiting Wailing Over The Dead

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to wail over the dead, even if it is the Messenger of Allah.

It was narrated from Hakim bin Qais, that Qais bin 'Asim said: "Do not wail over me, for no one wailed over the Messenger of Allah". This is an abridgment.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ لاَ تَنُوحُوا عَلَىَّ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the prohibition of wailing over the dead. It was narrated from Hakim bin Qais that Qais bin 'Asim said that no one should wail over the Messenger of Allah. This means that it is not permissible to wail over any deceased person, even if it is a Prophet or a messenger sent by God. Wailing and crying excessively for someone who has passed away can be seen as disrespectful and dishonoring them in their death. Instead, we should remember them with love and respect by praying for them and remembering their good deeds in life.
