Sunan Abi Dawud 3130 (Book 21, Hadith 42) #23420
Grief Practices of Non-Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that those who shave their heads, shout and tear their clothing in grief do not belong to the Muslim community.

Yazid ibn Aws said: I entered upon AbuMusa while he was at the point of death. His wife began to weep or was going to weep. AbuMusa said to her: Did you not hear what the Messenger of Allah said? She said: Yes. The narrator said: She then kept silence. When AbuMusa died, Yazid said: I met the woman and asked her: What did AbuMusa mean when he said to you: Did you not hear what the Messenger of Allah and the you kept silence? She replied: The Messenger of Allah said: He who shaves (his head), shouts and tears his clothing does not belong to us.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى وَهُوَ ثَقِيلٌ فَذَهَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ لِتَبْكِي أَوْ تَهُمَّ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو مُوسَى أَمَا سَمِعْتِ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو مُوسَى - قَالَ يَزِيدُ - لَقِيتُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مَا قَوْلُ أَبِي مُوسَى لَكِ أَمَا سَمِعْتِ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ سَكَتِّ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ حَلَقَ وَمَنْ سَلَقَ وَمَنْ خَرَقَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Remembering Allah and seeking comfort from Him .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Yazid ibn Aws tells us about a lesson taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He said that those who shave their heads, shout and tear their clothing in grief do not belong to the Muslim community. This is because these practices are not part of Islamic teachings. Instead of expressing grief through such practices, Muslims should remember Allah and seek comfort from Him. They should also be patient during times of difficulty and trust in Allah’s plan for them. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our actions when we are grieving or going through difficult times as it reflects on our faith as Muslims.
