حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ فَجِئْنَا لِنَشْهَدَهَا - قَالَ - فَحَضَرَهَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَإِنِّى لَجَالِسٌ بَيْنَهُمَا - قَالَ - جَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ الآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِى فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مُوَاجِهُهُ أَلاَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ ». فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ كَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ بَعْضَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ فَقَالَ صَدَرْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَكْبٍ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَانْظُرْ مَنْ هَؤُلاَءِ الرَّكْبُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ صُهَيْبٌ - قَالَ - فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ ادْعُهُ لِى. قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى صُهَيْبٍ فَقُلْتُ ارْتَحِلْ فَالْحَقْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. فَلَمَّا أَنْ أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ دَخَلَ صُهَيْبٌ يَبْكِى يَقُولُ وَاأَخَاهْ وَاصَاحِبَاهْ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَتَبْكِى عَلَىَّ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبَعْضِ بُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ ». فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عُمَرُ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ عُمَرَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ بِبُكَاءِ أَحَدٍ ». وَلَكِنْ قَالَ « إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرَ عَذَابًا بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ » قَالَ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ حَسْبُكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ (وَلاَ تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى) قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَاللَّهُ أَضْحَكَ وَأَبْكَى. قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ.

'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah said: "A daughter of 'Uthman bin 'Affan died in Makkah and we came to attend her funeral. It was also attended by Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas, and I was sitting between them. I sat beside one of them, then the other came and sat beside me. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said to 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was opposite him: 'Why don't you tell them not to cry? For the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: The deceased is tormented because of the crying of his family for him."' Ibn 'Abbas said: "'Umar used to say that sometimes." Then he narrated: "I set out with 'Umar from Makkah, then when we were in Al-Baida', we saw a party of riders in the shade of a tree. He said: 'Go and see who these riders are.' I looked and saw that it was Suhaib. I told him and he said: 'Call him to me.' So I went back to Suhaib and said: 'Go and join the Commander of the Believers.' When 'Umar was attacked, Suhaib came in crying and saying: 'O my brother, O my friend!' 'Umar said: 'O Suhaib, are you crying for me, when the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: The deceased is tormented because of some of his family's crying for him."'? Ibn 'Abbas said: "When 'Umar died, I told 'Aishah about that and she said: 'May Allah have mercy on 'Umar. No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not say: 'Allah torments the believer because of the crying of anyone.' Rather he said: 'Allah increases the torment of the disbeliever because of his family's crying for him.' And 'Aishah said: 'The Qur'an is sufficient for you: ...And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden.'' At that, Ibn 'Abbas said: "And Allah makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep.'' Ibn Abi Mulaikah said: "By Allah, Ibn 'Umar did not say anything.''
