Translation
Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If the wailing woman does not repent before she dies, she will be made to stand on the Day of Resurrection wearing a garment of pitch and a garment of scabies (Allah knows the nature thereof)."[Muslim].
