EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah states that it is not recommended to bury the dead at night unless there is no other option. This hadith teaches us that we should respect and honor those who have passed away, and take care of their burial in a dignified manner. We should also be mindful of our actions and try to avoid any unnecessary activities during nighttime hours, as this could lead to disrespecting the deceased. Additionally, this hadith reminds us that we should only do something if it is absolutely necessary, as in this case burying someone at night would only be done if there was no other option available.
