Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid elegies (poems of wailing and lamentation in memory of the dead). Ibrahim bin Muslim al-Hajari is not an abandoned (matruk) narrator, although the two Shaykhs did not use him as evidence. This hadith is a supporting narration (shahid) for the preceding narrations, and it is gharib sahih, since Imam Muslim used Sharik bin Abdullah as evidence.
