حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بِالسُّوقِ وَمَعَهُ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَمُرَّ بِجِنَازَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَا بُكَاءٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ تَرَكَ أَهْلُ هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ الْبُكَاءَ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَمَيِّتِهِمْ فَقَالَ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَقُولُهُ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَمَاتَ مَيِّتٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَرْوَانَ فَاجْتَمَعَ النِّسَاءُ يَبْكِينَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ قُمْ يَا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ فَانْهَهُنَّ أَنْ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْ
رَةَ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِنَّهُ مَاتَ مَيِّتٌ مِنْ آلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاجْتَمَعَ النِّسَاءُ يَبْكِينَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَنْهَاهُنَّ وَيَطْرُدُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْهُنَّ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ دَامِعَةٌ وَالْفُؤَادَ مُصَابٌ وَإِنَّ الْعَهْدَ حَدِيثٌ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَأْثُرُهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Sulayman ibn Dawud, from Isma'il, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn Halhal, from Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn 'Ata' — that he was sitting with Ibn 'Umar in the market, with Salama ibn al-Azraq beside him, when a funeral procession passed followed by weeping. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: 'If the family of this deceased would stop the weeping, it would be better for their dead.' Salama ibn al-Azraq said: 'Do you say that, O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman?' He said: 'Yes, I say it.' [Salama] said: 'I heard Abu Hurayra [narrate] — when one of Marwan's family died and the women gathered weeping over him, Marwan said: "Rise, O 'Abd al-Malik, and forbid them from weeping." Abu Hurayra said: "Leave them — for one of the Prophet ﷺ's (ﷺ) family died and the women gathered weeping over him. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab stood to forbid and drive them away. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Leave them, O Ibn al-Khattab — for the eye tears and the heart is stricken, and the loss is recent.'"' Ibn 'Umar said: 'Did you hear this from Abu Hurayra?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Tracing it back to the Prophet ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then Allah and His Messenger know best.'
