Ali bin Rabi’ah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a certain Ansari named Qarta bin Ka’b passed away and wailing and lamentation began over him. Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) came out of his house, ascended the pulpit, and after praising and glorifying Allah, said: What is this wailing in Islam? I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Lying about me is not like lying about an ordinary person. Beware! Whoever deliberately lies about me should prepare his abode in Hell. Beware! I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The person over whom wailing is done is punished because of that wailing.
