Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4068

وَعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتًا فَكَتَمَ عَلَيْهِ غَفَرَ [ اللَّهُ ] لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ كَبِيرَةً ، وَمَنْ حَفَرَ لِأَخِيهِ قَبْرًا حَتَّى يُجِنَّهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَسْكَنَهُ مَسْكَنًا حَتَّى يُبْعَثَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever washes a deceased person and keeps his matter concealed, Allah Almighty forgives forty of that person's major sins. And whoever digs a grave for his brother until he buries him in it, it is as if he has provided him a dwelling until the time he is raised again."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
