“I heard Ibn Abi Mulaikah say: ‘When Umm Aban died, I attended with the people. I sat in front of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbas, and the women wept. Ibn ‘Umar said: ‘Why don’t you tell them not to weep? For I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The deceased is punished due to some of his family’s weeping for him.”‘ Ibn ‘Abbas said: “Umar used to narrate something like that. I went out with ‘Umar and when we got to on uninhabited area, he saw a caravan beneath a tree. He said: ‘See whose caravan this is.’ I went and I found Suhaib and his family. I came back to him and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers! This is Suhaib and his family.’ He said: ‘Bring Suhaib to me.’ When we entered Al-Madinah, ‘Umar was attacked and Suhaib sat by him, weeping and saying, ‘O my brother, O my brother.’ ‘Umar said: ‘O Suhaib, do not weep, for I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The deceased is punished due to some of the weeping of his family for him. He said: I mentioned that to ‘Aishah and she said: ‘By Allah you are not narrating this Hadith from two liars who have disbelieved, but sometimes you mishear. And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden. And the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Allah increases the punishment of the disbeliever because of his family’s weeping for him.”‘

AbuImran said: We went out on an expedition from Medina with the intention of (attacking) Constantinople. AbdurRahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man (suddenly) attacked the enemy. Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger. AbuAyyub said: This verse was revealed about us, the group of the Ansar (the Helpers). When Allah helped His Prophet (ﷺ) and gave Islam dominance, we said (i.e. thought): Come on! Let us stay in our property and improve it. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, revealed, “And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your hands contribute to (your destruction)”. To put oneself into danger means that we stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement, and abandon fighting (i.e. jihad). AbuImran said: AbuAyyub continued to strive in the cause of Allah until he (died and) was buried in Constantinople.
