Like warning against taking them as an example in their Bid‘ah or disobedience and the like. The verse and Hadīths mentioned in the previous chapter are included in this one.
1564/1- ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not curse the dead, for they have attained the fruits of their deeds.” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri]

1) One has to restrain his tongue from what is useless.
2) It is impermissible to curse the dead Muslims given their sanctity, and because cursing them is offensive to their living relatives.
The dead referred to in the Hadīth are the deceased Muslims. The dead disbeliever has no sanctity, except if cursing him hurts his living Muslim relatives; in this case, he should not be cursed to honor the sanctity of his Muslim relative.
