عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا فَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا قُبِضَ وَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ، وَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُحَسِّنْ كَفَنَهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once delivered a sermon, and mention was made of a man who had passed away and was given only a simple shroud and buried at night. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade burying at night without offering the funeral prayer, except if a person is compelled. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you gives a shroud to his brother, he should give a good shroud.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Anas radi Allahu anhu narrates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “When one of you is responsible for his brother (i.e., for his burial), then let him make his shroud (kafan) good, for indeed they will be resurrected in their shrouds, and they will visit one another in their shrouds.” (Al-Tarikh lil-Khatib: 9/80, Sahihah: 1425)
