Hadith 128

aww said: ‘They both used to discuss with me-saww and comfort me-saww, and they are both gone! ’
And when Rasool-Allah-saww left from the event of (battle of) Ohad to Al-Medina, he-saww heard from every house of the slain, from its people, lamentation and crying, and he-saww did not hear from the house of his-saww uncle-as Hamza-as. He-saww said: ‘But Hamza-as, there are not criers for him’. He-saww vowed the people of Al-Medina that they should not lament upon any deceased nor cry upon him until they begin with Hamza-as. So, they lamented upon him-as and cried upon him-as. They are upon that up to today’’. [228]
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘One who fears upon him from feeling a calamity, let him pour out from his tears, for he will be calmed from it’’. [229]
And it is reported by Ibn Babuwayh, ‘From Rasool-Allah-saww having said to (Syeda) Fatima-asws when Ja’far-asws Bin Abu Talib-as had been killed: ‘Neither supplicate to disgrace, nor with bereavement, nor war, and whatever you say during it, it would be ratified’’. [230]
And it is reported (in Al Faqeeh), ‘He said: ‘When Ali-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Askari-asws passed away, Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws was seen and he-asws had come out from the house, and he-asws had torn his-asws shirt from the back and the front’’. [231]
Khalid Bin Sadeyr, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘There is nothing (legal penalties) in slapping the cheeks besides seeking the Forgiveness and the repentance’’. [232]
In ‘Saheeh’ of the general Muslims: ‘I-saww am disavowed from the ones who shave (head) and raises his voice (at the bereavement)’’. [233] (Non Shia source)
And it is reported in ‘Fe’l Al Fatimiyaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Dawood, from Khalid Bin Sadeyr, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, and he-asws had been asked about the man tearing his clothes upon his father, and his mother, and his brother, or upon a relative of his. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem with tearing the pocket. Musa-as Bin Imran-as had torn upon his-as brother-as Haroun‑as’’. [234]
And it is reported by Al-Hassan Al Saffar, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘It is not befitting, the shouting upon the deceased, nor tearing the clothes’ – and its apparent is the dislike’’. [235]
And in ‘Al-Mabsout’ –
‘It is reported in permission of tearing the clothes upon the father, and the brother, and is not allowed others, and permission of the lamenting with the good speech, and exceeding in his merits by reliance upon the truthfulness, for (Syeda) Fatima-asws had done it in her-asws words (in a poem): ‘O father-saww! How near he-saww is from his-saww Lord-azwj! O father-saww! To Jibraeel‑as is his-saww habitation. O father-saww! He-saww answered to Lord-azwj, His-azwj Call’’. And it is reported, he-asws, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon her-asws took a handful of soil from his-saww grave and placed it upon her-asws eyes and she-asws recited a poem: ‘One who is upon the aroma of the soil of Ahmad-saww has not smelt any expensive perfume for a long time. Such calamities have befallen upon me-asws, had they poured upon the days, they would have become nights’’. [236]
