The questioner:
It is mentioned in the hadithSahih al-Bukhari 1304 He said, and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to beat it with a stick, throw stones at it, and throw dirt at it. How do we understand this?
The Shaykh:
I am 'Umar.
The questioner:
He beats it with a stick and throws.
The Shaykh:
And what is it that he beats with a stick? This that you attributed to 'Umar, he does not beat it with a stick, and what else?
The questioner:
And he throws stones and throws dirt.
The Shaykh:
I do not know, yes.
It is mentioned in the hadith
Will you listen? Allah does not punish for shedding tears, nor for the grief of the heart but he punishes or bestows His Mercy because of this." He pointed to his tongue and added, "The deceased is punished for the wailing of his relatives over him."
