حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ يَهُودِيَّةٌ مَاتَتْ. فَسَمِعَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ أَهْلَهَا يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا تُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا " .

Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Amr, from Ibn Abi Mulaykah, from Aishah, who said: A Jewish woman had died. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard them weeping for her and said: ‘Her family are weeping for her, while she is being punished in her grave.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic uses ‘إنما’ in Aishah’s statement; here it introduces the circumstance (‘a Jewish woman had died’). The report’s juxtaposition of her family’s weeping and her punishment is translated as stated, without adding a causal or doctrinal explanation.
