Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S58) Muazh’s رضي الله عنه sister began to wail. when Muazh رضي الله عنه regained consciousness, he said: “Whenever you wailed, an Angel (a.s) asked me: ‘Are you really as she says?’”. (Similar occurred to another Companion, Abdullah Ibn Rawaha رضي الله عنه). Thus, if the likes of these 2 blessed souls (رضي الله عنهم) were asked by Angels (a.s), then what of us? Wailing is prohibited. One may cry and grieve, but do not be excessive. Muazh رضي الله عنه was overcome by anxiety on his deathbed. When asked why, he رضي الله عنه said: “By Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, it’s not due to fear of death or due to a debt. It’s due to The Messenger ﷺ saying: ‘2 Handfuls of souls were taken, one for Paradise and one for Hell’. I don’t know which handful I was in…”. One must ponder, which handful was you in…? Surah [18:49]: “and your Lord [سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى] treats no one with injustice”.
