Jami at-Tirmidhi 1015 (Book 10, Hadith 51) #26582
Hastening Funeral Processions

SUMMARY: The Prophet encourages people to hasten the funeral processions, as it is beneficial either way.

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Prophet said: "Hurry up with the funeral (procession) for if it was good, you are advancing it to good, and if it was evil, then you are taking it off your necks".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجَنَازَةِ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا تُقَدِّمُوهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ يَكُنْ شَرًّا تَضَعُوهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect others even in death; Hasten funerals; Be kind towards others; Show dignity towards all.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged people to hasten the funeral processions, as it is beneficial either way. If the deceased was a good person, then by hurrying up with their burial we are sending them off to a better place and if they were an evil person then we are taking them away from us. This hadith teaches us that even in death we should be respectful and kind towards others and not delay in burying them. We should also remember that no matter what kind of person someone was, they still deserve respect and dignity in death.
