Sahih Muslim 927e (Book 11, Hadith 24) #9294
Punishment of Dead Due to Lamentation

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the punishment of the dead due to the lamentation of the living.

Abu Burda narrated on the authority of his father that when 'Umar was wounded Suhaib uttered (loudly in lamentation): O brother! Upon this 'Umar said: Suhaib, did you not know that the Messenger of Allah said:" The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living"?
حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ جَعَلَ صُهَيْبٌ يَقُولُ وَاأَخَاهْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَىِّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Remember and honour those who have passed away respectfully without excessive crying or wailing.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one should not excessively mourn for a deceased person. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when someone dies, they are punished for every loud cry or wail made by those who are still alive. This means that it is important to remember and honour those who have passed away, but it should be done in a respectful manner without excessive crying or wailing. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and words as they can have an effect on others even after death. We must strive to live our lives in such a way that we will not cause any harm or distress to anyone even after we pass away.
