Riyad as-Salihin 955 (Book 6, Hadith 62) #37444
Weeping for the Punished

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned his companions to not pass by the dwellings of the Thamud people without weeping, lest they suffer a similar punishment.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: When the Messenger of Allah and his Companions reached Al-Hijr, the dwellings of the Thamud people, he admonished his Companions (saying), "Do not pass by these people who are being tormented, without weeping, lest the punishment should befall you as it had befallen them". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لأصحابه -يعني لما وصلوا الحجر‏:‏ ديار ثمود-‏:‏ ‏"‏لا تدخلوا علي هؤلاء المعذبين إلا أن تكونوا باكين، فإن لم تكونوا باكين، فلا تدخلوا عليهم، لا يصيبكم ما أصابهم” ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ وفي رواية قال‏:‏ لما مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالحجر قال‏:‏ ‏"‏لا تدخلوا مساكن الذين ظلموا أنفسهم أن يصيبكم ما أصابهم إلا ان تكونوا باكين‏"‏ ثم قنع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأسه وأسرع السير حتي أجاز الوادي‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, narrated by Ibn 'Umar, we learn that when the Prophet Muhammad and his companions reached Al-Hijr, which was once home to the Thamud people who were punished for their sins, he warned them not to pass by without weeping. This is because he wanted them to remember that if they do not repent and turn away from their sins then they too could face a similar punishment. He also wanted them to show mercy and compassion towards those who have been punished for their wrongdoings. This hadith teaches us that we should always remember Allah's power and mercy in our lives so that we can stay away from sinning and remain humble before Him. It also reminds us of how important it is to show compassion towards those who have been wronged or punished in life.
