Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hasten with the funeral. If it is righteous, then it is good to which you are taking it; and if it is otherwise, then it is an evil that you are putting down from your necks."
