Musnad Ahmad 828 (Book 5, Hadith 258) #34484
The Importance of Promptness

SUMMARY: It is important to not delay in three things: prayer when the time comes, attending funerals when the bier is there, and marrying a single woman if she finds a compatible match.

Sa'eed bin 'Abdullah al-Juhani narrated that Muhammad bin 'Umar bin 'Ali bin Abi Talib told him, from his father, from his grandfather 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) that The Messenger of Allah said: 'Three things, O 'Ali, you should not delay: They are: prayer when the time comes, funerals when the bier is there, and a single woman, if she finds a compatible match".
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ، هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُؤَخِّرْهُنَّ الصَّلَاةُ إِذَا أَتَتْ وَالْجَنَازَةُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ وَالْأَيِّمُ إِذَا وَجَدَتْ كُفُؤًا‏.‏
