Hadith.553 - When the Messenger of Allah (sw) returned to Medina after the Battle of Uhud, he heard mourning and weeping from every house in which someone had been killed. However, he did not hear mourning from the house of Hamza, his uncle. The Prophet (sw) then said
"But Hamza has no mourners." The people of Medina swore that they would not mourn or weep over any deceased until they began with mourning and weeping for Hamza. To this day, they continue this tradition.
553 - وَ لَمَّا اِنْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مِنْ وَقْعَةِ أُحُدٍ إِلَى اَلْمَدِينَةِ سَمِعَ مِنْ كُلِّ دَارٍ قُتِلَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا قَتِيلٌ نَوْحاً وَ بُكَاءً وَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ دَارِ حَمْزَةَ عَمِّهِ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «لَكِنَّ حَمْزَةَ لاَ بَوَاكِيَ لَهُ» فَآلَى أَهْلُ اَلْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ لاَ يَنُوحُوا عَلَى مَيِّتٍ وَ لاَ يَبْكُوهُ حَتَّى يَبْدَءُوا بِحَمْزَةَ فَيَنُوحُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ يَبْكُوهُ فَهُمْ إِلَى اَلْيَوْمِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.
