Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بُكِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ الْحَيِّ.
Translation
‘Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Ma‘mar narrated to us, from Ibn al-Musayyab, who said: When Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, died, people wept for him. ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘The deceased is punished because of the living person’s weeping.’
