Weeping For Dead is Sunnah

Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) wept on various occasions


1.    Messenger of Allah wept on the death of his Son Ibrahim.

The following narration has been mentioned in Sahih

Anas bin malik reported that: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) entered the room and we accompanied him… And Ibrahim breathed his last. The eyes of Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w) were filled with tears. Abdur Rehman Ibn Auf said: “You are weeping, O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).” He (s.a.w.) replied: “Ibn Auf, This is mercy.” Then he said: “Our eyes shed tears and our hearts are filled with grief, but we do not say anything except that by Allah is pleased. O, Ibrahim we are sorrowful due to your separation.”

(Sahih Muslim, 4:1808, Kitabul Fazil. Sunan Abi Dawood 3:193, Kitabul Janaiz, Chapter of weeping for dead. Sunan Ibn Majah 1:507, Sahih Bukhari 1:158)

 

Anas Ibn Malik says: When Ibrahim the son of the prophet (s.a.w.) died, he (the prophet) said: “Do not shroud him till I have looked at him.” Then he came forward in misery and wept.

(Sunan Ibn Majah 1:473, Kitabul Janaiz)

 

Jabir Ibne Abdullah Ansari says that: The Messenger of Allah  (s.a.w.) held the hand of Abdur Rehman bin Auf and took him to Ibrahim, his son, when Ibrahim was in his last moments. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) took him in his lap and began to weep. Abdur Rehman bi Auf said: “You are weeping? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.)  And you had yourself prohibited weeping? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) replied: “No, But I had prohibited two kinds of cries of foolish and sinful people: The cry at the time of calamity, and tearing at the face and the collar. And the second is crying like Shaitan.” And there is more in this narration. Abu Isa says that this hadith is good.

(Sahih Tirmizi, 4:226, Kitabul Janaiz.)
2.    The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) wept for his grand son

The given narration has been recorded in the books of Sahaih Bukhari,  Usama bin Zaid reported: While we were with the Apostle of Allah (s.a.w.) one of his daughters sent for him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child was dying. …. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) rose up to go, accompanied by sa’ad bin Ubada, Muadh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophets’) eyes welled up with tears. Sa’ad said: What is this, Messenger has placed in the hearts of his servants, and Allah shows compassion only to those of his servant who are compassionate. (Sunan Nasai 4:22)
