Sunan an-Nasai 1895 (Book 21, Hadith 78) #16506
Properly Shrouding the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught his companions to take care of their deceased by properly shrouding them.

It was narrated that Ibn Juraij said: "Abu Az-Zubair told me that he heard Jabir say; 'The Messenger of Allah delivered a speech and mentioned a man among his Companions who had died. He had been buried at night and wrapped in a shroud that was not sufficient. The Messenger of Allah rebuked (them) and said that no one should be buried at night unless constrained to do that. And the Messenger of Allah said: When one of you wants to takes care of his brother, let him shroud him well"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ الْقَطَّانُ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَاتَ فَقُبِرَ لَيْلاً وَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ فَزَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ إِنْسَانٌ لَيْلاً إِلاَّ أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا وَلِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُحَسِّنْ كَفَنَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about taking proper care of the deceased. It was narrated by Ibn Juraij and Jabir that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered a speech in which he mentioned a man among his companions who had died and been buried at night with an insufficient shroud. The Prophet rebuked this action and said that no one should be buried at night unless constrained to do so. He then taught that when someone wants to take care of their brother or sister after death they should ensure they are properly shrouded for burial. This teaches us the importance of respecting our dead by providing them with proper burial rites as well as showing compassion towards our fellow Muslims even after death.
