Sahih Muslim 104a (Book 1, Hadith 193) #7458
Grieving with Dignity

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) disapproving of women who wail loudly, shave their hair and tear their garments in grief.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Burda b. Abu Musa that Abu Musa was afflicted with grave pain and he became unconscious and his head was in the lap of a lady of his household. One of the women of his household walled. He (Abu Musa) was unable (because of weakness) to say anything to her. But when he was a bit recovered he said: I have no concern with one with whom the Messenger of Allah has no concern, Verily the Messenger of Allah has no concern with that woman who wails loudly, shaves her hair and tears (her garment in grief).
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَنْطَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُخَيْمِرَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ وَجِعَ أَبُو مُوسَى وَجَعًا فَغُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي حَجْرِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَصَاحَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهَا شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ أَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا بَرِئَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَرِئَ مِنَ الصَّالِقَةِ وَالْحَالِقَةِ وَالشَّاقَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to grieve with dignity. It was narrated by Abu Burda b. Abu Musa that when his father was afflicted with a grave illness and became unconscious, one of the women in his household began to wail loudly. When he regained consciousness he said that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not approve of such behavior and discouraged it as it does not show respect for the deceased or those grieving them. He taught that instead of wailing loudly, shaving one's head or tearing one's garments in grief, people should mourn quietly and respectfully as this shows more dignity for both the deceased and those grieving them.
