Hadith 527
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُقْرِئِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجَنَازَةِ ، فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا فَخَيْرًا تُقَدِّمُونَهُ ، وَإِنْ يَكُ شَرًّا فَشَرًّا تُلْقُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ " .
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hasten with the funeral procession, for if the deceased was righteous, you are taking him towards something better, and if he was otherwise, then it is an evil which you are removing from your shoulders."
