Sunan an-Nasai 2006 (Book 21, Hadith 189) #16617
Burying the Dead with Compassion

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) instructed 'Ali to bury his father and then come back to him for further instructions. He then performed Ghusl and prayed for 'Ali, mentioning a supplication that was not remembered.

It was narrated that 'Ali said: "I said to the Prophet: 'Your paternal uncle, the old misguided man has died. Who will bury him?' He said: 'Go and bury your father, then do not do anything until you come to me'. So I buried him then I came, and he told me to perform Ghusl and he prayed for me, and he mentioned a supplication that I do not remember"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ، إِنَّ عَمَّكَ الشَّيْخَ الضَّالَّ مَاتَ، فَمَنْ يُوَارِيهِ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ اذْهَبْ فَوَارِ أَبَاكَ وَلاَ تُحْدِثَنَّ حَدَثًا حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَوَارَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَأَمَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ وَدَعَا لِي، وَذَكَرَ دُعَاءً لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of burying the dead with compassion and mercy. It is narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib, who asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) what he should do when his paternal uncle passed away. The Prophet instructed him to go ahead and bury his father, then come back to him for further instructions. When he returned, the Prophet performed Ghusl on Ali and prayed for him, mentioning a supplication that was not remembered by Ali. This hadith teaches us about showing mercy towards those who have passed away as well as performing Ghusl on them before burial in order to purify them from any sins they may have committed in life. It also reminds us of how important it is to remember our supplications so we can benefit from them in our daily lives.
