It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah said: I was sitting beside Ibn 'Umar, and we were waiting for the funeral of Umm Aban bint 'Uthman bin 'Affan'.Amr bin 'Uthman was also present. Ibn 'Abbas came, led by a guide, who told him where Ibn 'Umar was. He came and sat beside me, so I was between them, and we heard a voice from inside the house, Ibn 'Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The deceased is tormented because of the crying of his family'. He said: And 'Abdullah understood it as general in meaning. Ibn 'Abbas said: We were with Ameer al-Muʼmineen 'Umar until we came to some arid land, where we found a man who had halted in the shade of a tree. He said to me: Go and find out for me who that man is, I went and found that it was Suhaib. I came back to him and said: You told me to find out for you who that man is; it is Suhaib. He said: Tell him to join us. I said: He has his family with him. He said: Even if he has his family with him and perhaps Ayyoob said on one occasion:Tell him to join us). When we came to Madinah, it was not long before Ameer al Muʼmineen ʼUmar} was attacked. Suhaib came, saying O my brother, O my friend! 'Umar said: Do you not know, or have you not heard, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The deceased is tormented because of some of his family's crying". "Abdullah understood it as general in meaning, but 'Umar said: some of their weeping. I went to 'A'ishah, and I told her what Ibn 'Umar had said. She said: No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not say, "The deceased is tormented because of the weeping of anyone". Rather he said: "Allah increases the torment of the kafir because of his family's weeping, and that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep, "And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden' Al Anʼam 6:164". Ayyoob said: Ibn Abu Mulaikah said: al-Qasim bin Muhammad told me: When 'Aʼishah heard what ʼUmar and Ibn 'Umar had said, she said. You are narrating to me from two who are not liars and are not to be suspected of being liars, but one may mishear'.Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah narrated… and he mentioned a hadeeth similar to that of Ayyoob, except that he said: ibn 'Umar said to 'Amr bin 'Uthman, when he was facing him: Why don't you tell them not to weep? For the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The deceased is tormented because of his family's weeping for him'.
