About Speedy Repayment of the Debts of a Deceased Person and Preparation of Burial
وَعَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ وَحْوَحٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ أَنَّ طلحة بْن الْبَرَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ مَرِضَ، فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وسلمى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لاَ أري طَلْحَةَ إِلاَّ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِيهِ الْمَوْتُ فآذوني به وعجلوا به، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِجِيفَةِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ تُحْبَسَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ أَهْلِهِ" ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ)).
Hussain bin Wahwah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Talhah bin Al-Bara' (May Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, the Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit him and said, "Verily, I think that Talhah is about to die. So inform me when he is dead and make haste (in burying him). Indeed, it is improper for the corpse of a Muslim to be kept lying unburied among his family members." [Abu Dawud].
