Did the jinn wail over the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and is Umm Salamah's (may Allah be pleased with her) narration concerning that authentic?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Umm Salamah and Maymunah heard the jinn wailing over Husayn ibn Ali, and the narrators of Al-Tabarani are trustworthy. However, in one of the narrations, [it states]: "I heard the wailing of the jinn since the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, except for tonight. I do not see my son except that he has been seized," meaning Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him. In this narration, there is "Amr ibn Thabit ibn Hurmuz," who is a weak narrator.
