Hadith: There are two things in people that are signs of disbelief: defaming lineages and wailing over the dead
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
«اثْنَتَانِ فِي النَّاسِ هُمَا بِهِمْ كُفْرٌ: الطَّعْنُ فِي النَّسَبِ، وَالنِّيَاحَةُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ».

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"There are two things in people that are signs of disbelief: defaming lineages and wailing over the dead."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 67]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs of two traits in people that are from the disbelievers' practices and from the morals of Jāhiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era of ignorance), which are:
First: Defaming people's lineages, belittling them, and treating them arrogantly.
Second: Raising the voice when a calamity strikes by way of expressing resentment at the divine decree or tearing clothes out of extreme discontent.
Benefits from the Hadith
- Encouraging Muslims to be modest and to refrain from treating people with arrogance.
- It is obligatory to deal patiently with calamities and to avoid discontentment.
- These deeds are from the minor Kufr (disbelief), and one who possesses any of the traits of Kufr is not a disbeliever, the commission of which leads to apostasy unless he commits major Kufr.
- Islam forbids whatever leads to dissension among Muslims like defaming lineages and others.
