وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ اشْتَكَى، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَنَا وَالْحَكَمُ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ:
قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: أَيَنْطَلِقُ رَجُلٌ غَازٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، فَيُقْتَلُ فِي قُطْرٍ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ شَهِيدًا، فَتَبْكِيهِ امْرَأَةٌ سَفِيهَةٌ جَاهِلَةٌ، فَيُعَذَّبُ بِبُكَائِهَا عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ: صَدَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - ﷺ – وَأَبْطَلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ

✧ Abu Hurayrah ؓ said to a man from among the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'Should a man go out fighting in the path of Allah, the Exalted, and be killed as a martyr in a region of the earth, and then a foolish, ignorant woman weep over him—would he be punished because of her weeping over him?' The man replied to Abu Hurayrah ؓ: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke the truth, and Abu Hurayrah has erred.'
