Hadith 928 Part A

setting

'Abdullah b. Abu Mulaika reported

I was sitting by the side of Ibn 'Umar , and we were waiting for the bier of Umm Aban , daughter of 'Uthman , and there was also 'Amr b. 'Uthman. In the meanwhile there came Ibn 'Abbas led by a guide. I conceive that he was informed of the place of Ibn 'Umar. So he came till he sat by my side. While I was between them (Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn 'Umar) there came the noise (of wailing) from the house. Upon this Ibn 'Umar said (that is , he pointed out to 'Amr that he should stand and forbid them , for) : I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying : The dead is punished because of the lamentation of his family. 'Abdullah made it general (what was said for a particular occasion).
