عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((ثَلَاثَةٌ يَا عَلِيُّ! لَا تُؤَخِّرْهُنَّ: الصَّلَاةُ إِذَا أَتَتْ، وَالْجَنَازَةُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ، وَالْأَيِّمُ إِذَا وَجَدَتْ كُفُوًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Ali! Do not delay in three matters: the prayer when its time arrives, the funeral when it is present, and the marriage of an unmarried person when you find a suitable match for them.
