A hadith containing Aisha's statement "Wathaklah" — is it from the forbidden wailing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is this considered Aisha's statement:
Wathaklah واثكلاه
to be from wailing?

The Shaykh : The scholars say: This is from the slight wailing that the mind suggests, and it is not from the forbidden wailing. The forbidden wailing is that which indicates anger and dissatisfaction. As for this which the mind suggests and comes about without intention, there is no sin upon him for it, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Allah does not impose blame upon you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He imposes blame upon you for what your hearts have earned لا يؤاخذكم الله باللغو في أيمانكم ولكن يؤاخذكم بما كسبت قلوبكم
[Al-Baqarah 2:225]
And this is not something the heart earns, because it is what passes on the tongue without indicating anger at Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
