An Nasai
Sahih (Darussalam)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ لاَ تَنُوحُوا عَلَىَّ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يُنَحْ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ مُخْتَصَرٌ ‏.‏
It was narrated from Hakim bin Qais, that Qais bin 'Asim said:
"Do not wail over me, for no one wailed over the Messenger of Allah." This is an abridgment.
