Ibn Abbas added, When `Umar died I told all this to Aisha and she said, 'May Allah be merciful to `Umar. By Allah, Allah's Apostle did not say that a believer is punished by the weeping of his relatives. But he said, Allah increases the punishment of a non-believer because of the weeping of his relatives. Aisha further added, The Qur'an is sufficient for you (to clear up this point) as Allah has stated: 'No burdened soul will bear another's burden.' (35.18). Ibn `Abbas then said, Only Allah makes one laugh or cry. Ibn `Umar did not say anything after that.
