Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he recited before us this verse:“That you will not associate anything with Allah”(Al-Mumtahanah: 12), and he forbade us from wailing (that is, loudly crying and lamenting over the dead). Upon this prohibition of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), one woman (Umm ‘Atiyyah herself) withdrew her hand and said,“Such-and-such woman helped me in wailing; I wish to repay her.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not reply to her, so she went away and then returned and pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) again.
