Sunan an-Nasai 1856 (Book 21, Hadith 39) #16467
Punishment for Weeping of the Living

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed by a deceased Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said that she was being punished due to the weeping of the living.

It was narrated from 'Amrah that she heard 'Aishah say: , when she was told that Ibn 'Umar said that the deceased is punished due to the weeping of the living for him, 'Aishah said: "May Allah forgive Abu 'Abdur-Rahman; he is not lying, but he has forgotten or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah passed by a (deceased) Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said: 'They are weeping for her and she is being punished"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا، سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ، وَذُكِرَ، لَهَا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَىِّ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَكِنْ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect other faiths; Be mindful of your actions & words; Do not express grief excessively

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should not weep excessively over those who have passed away. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed by a deceased Jewish woman for whom people were weeping and he said that she was being punished due to the weeping of the living. This teaches us that although it is natural to feel grief when someone passes away, we should not express our grief in an excessive manner as this can lead to punishment for them in their afterlife. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and words as they can have consequences even after death. Furthermore, it reminds us to be respectful towards all religions and beliefs as this hadith shows how even though this woman was from another faith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ still showed respect towards her by warning those around her against excessive mourning.
