Hastening with funerals

The Prophet Muhammad's hadith encourages us to hasten with the funeral procession of a deceased person. This is because if the deceased was righteous then we are taking them towards something good and if they were otherwise, then we are relieving ourselves from an evil. This hadith teaches us that even in death, we should be mindful of our actions and strive for goodness. It also reminds us that death is inevitable and should be accepted as part of life's cycle. We should not delay in burying a dead body but rather do it quickly so that their soul can rest in peace.
