The Consequences of Wailing for the Deceased

It was narrated from ʼUmar that: The Prophet said: 'The deceased is tormented in his grave because of the wailing for him'.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِالنِّيَاحَةِ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the consequences of wailing for a deceased person. It was narrated by Umar, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad, that he said that when someone dies and people cry and wail over them, they will be tormented in their grave because of it. This means that if we are sad about someone's death, we should not express our sadness through loud crying or wailing as this can cause harm to the deceased person. Instead, we should express our sadness through silent prayer and remembrance of Allah. We should also remember that death is inevitable and part of life's cycle; it is something which Allah has decreed for us all so we must accept it with patience and faith in Him.
