Haste in Burial

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وسلمى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ‏:‏ ‏"‏أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجَنَازَةِ، فَإِنْ تَكُ صَالِحَةً، فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ تَكُ سوي ذَلِكَ، فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏وفي رواية لمسلم‏:‏ ‏"‏فخير تقدمونها عَلَيْهِ‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Hurry up with the dead body (for its burial), for if it is pious, you are speeding it to goodness and if it is otherwise, you are laying an evil off your necks." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
