Question

Is there any narration that states that women who go to the cemetery will not even smell the fragrance of Jannah?

 

Answer

I have not come across this exact wording. Imam Nasai (rahimahullah) has recorded a similar narration and has declared it weak:

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported: “Once we were travelling with Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) when he saw a woman not realizing that he knew her. When she was halfway, he stopped until she reached him and it was Fatimah, the daughter of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) asked her, “What brought you out of your house, O Fatimah?” She replied, “I came to the people of this funeral to pray for mercy for them and to offer my condolences to them.” Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Perhaps you went with them to [the graveyard]?” She replied: “Allah forbid that I should go there when I have heard what you said regarding that.” He said, “If you went there with them, you would never have seen Jannah until your father’s grandfather saw it.”

(Sunan Nasai; Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 1880)

Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded the following narration:

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) cursed those women who visit the graves.”

(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1056. Declared authentic –hasanun sahih– by Imam Tirmidhi)

Note: This issue has broad discussion. Some Scholars were of the opinion that these narrations are abrogated. Hence, one should refer to a reputable Mufti/Darul Ifta for a fiqhi ruling on the matter.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

سنن النسائي:
(١٨٨٠) أخبرنا عبيد الله بن فضالة بن إبراهيم، قال: حدثنا عبد الله هو ابن يزيد المقرئ، ح وأنبأنا محمد بن عبد الله بن يزيد المقريء، قال: حدثنا أبي، قال سعيد، حدثني ربيعة بن سيف المعافري، عن أبي عبد الرحمن الحبلي، عن عبد الله بن عمرو قال: بينما نحن نسير مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ بصر بامرأة لا تظن أنه عرفها، فلما توسط الطريق وقف حتى انتهت إليه، فإذا فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال لها: «ما أخرجك من بيتك يا فاطمة؟»، قالت: أتيت أهل هذا الميت، فترحمت إليهم، وعزيتهم بميتهم، قال: «لعلك بلغت معهم الكدى؟»، قالت: معاذ الله، أن أكون بلغتها وقد سمعتك تذكر في ذلك ما تذكر، فقال لها: «لو بلغتها معهم ما رأيت الجنة حتى يراها جد أبيك».
قال أبو عبد الرحمن: «ربيعة ضعيف»

سنن الترمذي:
(١٠٥٦) حدثنا قتيبة قال: حدثنا أبو عوانة، عن عمر بن أبي سلمة، عن أبيه، عن أبي هريرة، «أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لعن زوارات القبور».
وفي الباب عن ابن عباس، وحسان بن ثابت.: «هذا حديث حسن صحيح» وقد رأى بعض أهل العلم أن هذا كان قبل أن يرخص النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في زيارة القبور، فلما رخص دخل في رخصته الرجال والنساء، وقال بعضهم: إنما كره زيارة القبور للنساء لقلة صبرهن وكثرة جزعهن.
