Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that someone mentioned in the presence of Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the deceased is punished in the grave because of the weeping of his family over him. Upon this, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) actually said that the deceased is punished because of his bad deeds and sins, and as for his family, they continue to weep over his separation. She said: Its example is exactly like when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by the well of Badr, into which the bodies of the polytheists had been thrown, and said about them: "What I am saying, they are hearing it." So the purpose of his statement was that now they have come to know that what I used to say to them was the truth. Then she recited this verse: "You cannot make the dead hear" (__QUR_27:80__), and "Nor can you make those who are in the graves hear your call" (__QUR_35:22__). Urwah says: (You cannot make those men hear) who have made their abode in Hell.
