Sahih
Sunan Ibn Majah 1595
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 ‏"
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:

“A Jewish woman had died, and the Prophet (ﷺ) heard the weeping for her. He said: ‘Her family is weeping for her, and she is being punished in her grave.’”
