Sahih Muslim 932c (Book 11, Hadith 34) #9304
Punishment of Dead Due to Lamentation

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

'Amra daughter of 'Abd al Rahman narrated that she heard (from) 'A'isha and made a mention to her about 'Abdullah b. 'Umar as saying: The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living. Upon this 'A'isha said: May Allah have mercy upon the father of 'Abd al-Rahman (Ibn 'Umar). He did not tell a lie, but he forgot or made a mistake. The Messenger of Allah happened to pass by a (dead) Jewess who was being lamented. Upon this he said: They weep over her and she is being punished in the grave.
وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ، أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا، سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ، وَذُكِرَ، لَهَا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَىِّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَلَكِنَّهُ نَسِيَ أَوْ أَخْطَأَ إِنَّمَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about how a person who has passed away can be punished in their grave due to the lamentations and excessive mourning from those who are still alive. It was narrated by Amra daughter of Abd al Rahman that she heard from A'isha and made a mention to her about Abdullah b. Umar as saying that "The dead is punished because of the lamentation of the living". A'isha then said that her father did not lie but he may have forgotten or made a mistake. The Prophet Muhammad then happened to pass by a dead Jewess who was being lamented and he said "They weep over her and she is being punished in the grave". This hadith teaches us that we should not excessively mourn for those who have passed away as it can lead them into punishment in their graves. We should instead remember them with love and pray for them so they may receive mercy from Allah SWT.
