1857 - ‘Abd al-Jabbār ibn al-‘Alā’ ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbār informed us, from Sufyān, who said: ‘Amr ibn Dīnār narrated it to us, saying: I heard Ibn Abī Mulaykah say: Ibn ‘Abbās said:
‘Ā’ishah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) only said: “Verily Allah, Mighty and Majestic, increases the disbeliever in punishment because of some of his family’s weeping over him.”(1)

--------------------------------------------
= al-Dāraquṭnī said in al-‘Ilal 14/408: It is likely that ‘Abd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr heard it, he and his father, from ‘Amrah.
Aḥmad also narrated it — in similar wording — (24115), and Ibn Ḥibbān (3137), via the chain of Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Abī Bakr, with it.
See also what preceded at no. (1848).

(1) Its chain is sound. Ibn Abī Mulaykah: he is ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Ubayd Allāh. There is disagreement concerning him as is elaborated in the Musnad of Aḥmad (25079), and Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated it from him, and there is also disagreement concerning him:
‘Abd al-Jabbār ibn al-‘Alā’ narrated it here and in al-Sunan al-Kubrā at no. (1996), and ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Bishr — as narrated by Muslim (929) — both from Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Amr ibn Dīnār, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from Ibn ‘Abbās, from ‘Ā’ishah.
But Hishām ibn ‘Ammār differed from them — as narrated by Ibn Mājah (1595) — for he narrated it from Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Amr ibn Dīnār, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from ‘Ā’ishah, with the wording: “It was only a Jewish woman who died, and the Prophet heard them weeping over her, and said: ‘Her family is weeping over her, and she is being punished in her grave.’” And he did not mention Ibn ‘Abbās in the chain.
Al-Dāraquṭnī mentioned in al-‘Ilal 15/4 that Muḥammad ibn Muslim al-Ṭā’ifī narrated it from ‘Amr ibn Dīnār, from Ibn ‘Abbās, from ‘Ā’ishah. He did not mention Ibn Abī Mulaykah in the chain. Then he mentioned the chain of Ibn ‘Uyaynah, from ‘Amr, from Ibn Abī Mulaykah, from Ibn ‘Abbās, from ‘Ā’ishah, and said: That is correct.
See the following narration, and see what preceded at no. (1848).
Al-Sindī said: His statement, “Verily Allah increases the disbeliever” — so she interpreted the deceased as a disbeliever, and objected to the unqualified statement. And increase in punishment has come in the texts, such as His saying, Exalted is He: {We increased them in punishment above the punishment} [al-Naḥl: 88], and His saying: {So We will not increase you except in punishment} [al-Nabā’: 30]. But it may be said: the increase of punishment due to another’s deed is also problematic, being contradicted by His saying: {And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another} — the verse. Therefore the bā’ in his statement “because of some of his family’s weeping” should be understood as accompanying (muṣāḥabah) rather than causation (sababiyyah), and the specification of the disbeliever in that case is because he is a locus for increase. And Allah knows best.
