Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Among the things we were pledged upon was that we would not wail (over the dead). Only five women among us fulfilled this: Umm Sulaym, the wife of Mu‘adh bin Abi Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him), or the wife of Mu‘adh (may Allah be pleased with him), the daughter of Abu Sabrah, and another woman. And she was not prepared for it until the day of Harrah, when the women participated in it until she stood up; they would not prepare themselves for it.

Lady Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: When this verse was revealed: "When believing women come to you to pledge that they will not associate anything with Allah, will not steal, will not commit adultery... and will not disobey you in what is right," she (Umm Atiyyah) said: Lamentation (wailing) was also included in this. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Except for the women of such-and-such tribe, for they helped me in the days of ignorance, so it is necessary for me to help them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Except for the women of such-and-such tribe."

Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took a pledge from us, and in it was that we would not wail (over the dead). Only five of us fulfilled it, and Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) was among them.
