Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever washes a dead person, let him take a bath, and whoever carries him, let him perform ablution." (b) Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the people of Sham narrated munkar (objectionable) reports from Zuhayr bin Muhammad. Imam al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Zuhayr is not strong. It has been narrated as marfu' from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain.
