Mourning Etiquette According to the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cursed those who shave their heads, raise their voices in lamentation or rend their garments when someone dies.

It was narrated that Al-qartha' said: "When Abu Musa was close to death, his wife screamed and he said: 'Do you not know what the Messenger of Allah said?" She said: 'Yes, Then she fell silent and it was said to her after that: 'What did the Messenger of Allah say?' She said: 'The Messenger of Allah cursed the one who shaves his head, raises his voice in lamentation or rends his garment".
أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ سَهْمِ بْنِ مِنْجَابٍ، عَنِ الْقَرْثَعِ، قَالَ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ أَبُو مُوسَى صَاحَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتِ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ بَلَى ‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَكَتَتْ فَقِيلَ لَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَىُّ شَىْءٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَعَنَ مَنْ حَلَقَ أَوْ سَلَقَ أَوْ خَرَقَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Al-qartha' speaks of the mourning etiquette according to the Prophet Muhammad. When Abu Musa was close to death, his wife screamed and he reminded her of what the Messenger of Allah said about mourning. He said that the Messenger of Allah cursed those who shave their head, raise their voice in lamentation or rends his garment when someone dies. This is a reminder for us that we should not do any of these things as it goes against Islamic teachings and values. We should instead remember our loved ones with prayers and supplications for them as this is what pleases Allah SWT most.
