Respect for the Dead

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed by the graves of Muslims and idolators, and warned a man to take off his sandals as a sign of respect for the dead.

It was narrated that Bashir bin Al-Khasasiyyah said: "I was walking with the Messenger of Allah and He passed by the graves of the Muslims and said: 'They died before a great deal of evil came to them'. Then He passed by the grave of the idolators and said: 'They died before a great deal of good came to them'. Then he ____turned____, and He saw a man walking between the graves in his sandals and He said; 'O you with the Sibtiyah sandals, take them off"'. (Shahih)
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ شَيْبَانَ، - وَكَانَ ثِقَةً - عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، أَنَّ بَشِيرَ ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَّةِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلاَءِ شَرًّا كَثِيرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلاَءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَانَتْ مِنْهُ الْتِفَاتَةٌ فَرَأَى رَجُلاً يَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ أَلْقِهِمَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about showing respect to those who have passed away. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was walking with Bashir bin Al-Khasasiyyah when they passed by two different types of graves; those belonging to Muslims and those belonging to idolators. The Prophet ﷺ said that both groups died before either good or evil came upon them, indicating that death is inevitable regardless of one's faith or beliefs. He then saw a man walking between the graves in his sandals, which was seen as disrespectful, so he asked him to take them off as a sign of respect for the dead. This hadith teaches us that we should always show respect towards those who have passed away regardless of their beliefs or faith. We should also be mindful not to do anything disrespectful near their graves such as wearing shoes or talking loudly.
