Sunan Ibn Majah 1477 (Book 6, Hadith 45) #30829
Hastening Funeral Processions

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encourages people to hasten with the funeral procession of a deceased person, as it is an act of goodness if the person was righteous and an act of mercy if they were otherwise.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: 'Hasten with the funeral (procession), for if the person was righteous then you are advancing him towards good, and if he was otherwise then it is evil which you are taking off of your necks".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَإِنْ تَكُنْ صَالِحَةً فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ تَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad encourages people to hasten with the funeral procession of a deceased person. It is believed that when someone passes away, their soul will be taken up to heaven or sent down to hell depending on how righteous they were in life. Therefore, by hastening with the funeral procession, we are sending them off towards good if they were righteous and taking away any evil from our necks if they weren't. This hadith teaches us that we should always show mercy and kindness towards those who have passed away regardless of their deeds in life. We should also remember that death can come at any time so it is important for us to live our lives according to Islamic teachings so that we can be prepared for whatever comes next.
