MERITS OF A QUICK BURIAL

954

“Hasten taking a coffin (to the graveyard) because if the coffin is that of a righteous person, you are hastening it to good. If he is otherwise you should lay down evil from your necks.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
