Musnad Ahmad 7691

Translation

✧ Salama b. al-Azraq was sitting with 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar in the market when a funeral passed by and women were weeping over it. 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar disapproved of that and rebuked them. Salama b. al-Azraq said to him: Do not say that, for I testify that I heard Abu Hurayrah say, when a woman from the kinswomen of Marwan died and he attended it, and Marwan ordered that the women who were weeping be driven away: Abu Hurayrah said: Leave them, O Abu 'Abd al-Malik, for a funeral passed by the Prophet ﷺ and women were weeping over it while I was with him, and 'Umar b. 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 stricken, the eye sheds tears, and the covenant is recent. He said: Did you hear it? He said: Yes. He said: Allah and His Messenger know best.
