Sahih al-Bukhari
Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz)
Chapter: What (sort of) wailing over a deceased is disliked
Narrated Al-Mughira:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Ascribing false things to me is not like ascribing false things to anyone else. Whosoever tells a lie against me intentionally then surely let him occupy his seat in Hell-Fire." I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "The deceased who is wailed over is tortured for that wailing."
Sahih al-Bukhari 1291
