حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ يَهُودِيَّةٌ مَاتَتْ. فَسَمِعَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ: ‏

"‏ فَإِنَّ أَهْلَهَا يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَإِنَّهَا تُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهَا ‏"
