Sunan An Nasai 3197

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي الطَّائِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَبْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَبَكَى النِّسَاءُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ جَبْرٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَبْكِينَ مَا دَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَعْهُنَّ يَبْكِينَ مَا دَامَ بَيْنَهُنَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ .

It was narrated from Jabr that he entered with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) upon someone who was dying, and the women were weeping. Jabr said: Are you weeping when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is sitting here? He said: Let them weep so long as he is among them, but if he dies no one should weep for him.
