Ibn Umar's statement that the deceased is punished due to his family's weeping over him was mentioned in the presence of Ayesha. She said, "May Allah have mercy on Abu Abd al-Rahman. He heard something but did not retain it accurately. A Jewish funeral procession passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while the people were weeping over the deceased, and he said, 'You are weeping while he is indeed being punished.'"
ذكر عند عائشة قول ابن عمر: الميت يعذب ببكاء أهله عليه، فقالت: رحم الله أبا عبد الرحمن، سمع فلم يحفظه، إنما مرت على رسول الله ﷺ جنازة يهودي، وهم يبكون عليه، فقال: أنتم تبكون وإنه ليعذب.
