Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَزْرَقِ كَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بِالسُّوقِ فَمُرَّ بِجِنَازَةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا فَعَابَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَانْتَهَرَهُنَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَتُوُفِّيَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ كَنَائِنِ مَرْوَانَ وَشَهِدَهَا وَأَمَرَ مَرْوَانُ بِالنِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي يَبْكِينَ يُطْرَدْنَ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ دَعْهُنّ
َ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَإِنَّهُ مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ يُبْكَى عَلَيْهَا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَمَعَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَانْتَهَرَ عُمَرُ اللَّاتِي يَبْكِينَ مَعَ الْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْهُنَّ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَإِنَّ النَّفْسَ مُصَابَةٌ وَإِنَّ الْعَيْنَ دَامِعَةٌ وَإِنَّ الْعَهْدَ حَدِيثٌ قَالَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq → Ibn Jurayj → Hisham ibn 'Urwa → Wahb ibn Kaysan → Muhammad ibn 'Amr — that Salama ibn al-Azraq was sitting with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar in the marketplace when a funeral procession passed over which women were weeping. 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar disapproved and rebuked them. Salama ibn al-Azraq said to him: 'Do not say that — I bear witness concerning Abu Hurayra that I heard him say [this]: A woman from among Marwan's daughters-in-law had died. He [Abu Hurayra] was in attendance, and Marwan ordered the weeping women to be driven away. Abu Hurayra said: "Leave them, O Abu 'Abd al-Malik — for a funeral procession passed before the Prophet ﷺ while women were weeping over it, and I was with him, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was with him. 'Umar rebuked the women who were weeping with the funeral. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Leave them, O Ibn al-Khattab — for the soul is afflicted, the eye is tearful, and the [bereavement] is recent.'"' He [Ibn 'Umar] asked: 'You heard it yourself?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then Allah and His Messenger know best.'
