Sahih Muslim 931 (Book 11, Hadith 31) #9301
Punishment of the Dead Due to Wailing

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the punishment of the dead due to the wailing of their family members.

Hisham b. 'Urwa narrated on the authority of his father that the saying of Ibn 'Umar, viz". The dead would be punished because of the lamentation of his family over him" was mentioned to 'A'isha. Upon this she said: May Allah have mercy upon Abu 'Abd al-Rahman (the kunya of Ibn 'Umar) that he heard something but could not retain it (well). (The fact is) that the bier of a Jew passed before the Messenger of Allah and (the members of his family) were waiting over him. Upon this he said: You are wailing and he is being punished.
وَحَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، - قَالَ خَلَفٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، - عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ الْمَيِّتُ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعَ شَيْئًا فَلَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ إِنَّمَا مَرَّتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ وَهُمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْتُمْ تَبْكُونَ وَإِنَّهُ لَيُعَذَّبُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about a situation in which a Jewish man passed away and his family was wailing over him. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that because they were wailing, he was being punished in his grave. This teaches us that we should not be too loud or overly emotional when someone passes away, as it can lead to them being punished for our actions. We should instead show mercy and compassion towards those who have passed away by praying for them and remembering them fondly without excessive emotion or noise.
