Commentary on Hadeeth
In a book titled “Grave- Punishment and blessings” by Husayn al-Awayishah, I read a hadith that the Prophet (salla Allahu Alaihi wa sallam) said “The deceased is punished by (the mourners) wailing for him”. But how is it the fault of the deceased if someone mourns over him? How can he stop someone to mourn over his death?

Punishment might not be the right translation, though it is one of the meanings.

The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said: traveling is a piece of torment! The same word was used with the mentioned hadeeth; a man is tormented by the wailing of his family.

Scholars say, either this is for someone who instructed his family to wail after he dies or he knew that they will do that and didn’t instruct them not to.

Other scholars said that this is general and to all deceased and this is not a punishment but rather a feeling they get when they see the grief of their family.

I came across the hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu aleyhee wa sallam said : when you call the hypocrite a ‘ Mister’ has made your lord anger. ( reported by An nasai). What does it mean by Mister here ? bcoz in english its common english language addressing Mr.

Please explain the hadith statement:- The Prophets are brothers of the same father with different mothers, and their religion is one. Is this a metaphor and what does it mean?
