Hasten at a funeral, for if (the dead person) is good, you would (soon) bring him close to the good. And if it is otherwise, it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, When the funeral is ready and the men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased
was righteous it will say, 'Present me (hurriedly),' and if he was not righteous, it will say, 'Woe to it
(me)! Where are they taking it (me)?' Its voice is heard by everything except man and if he heard it he
would fall unconscious."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders,
then if the deceased is a righteous person he says, 'Take me ahead,' and if he is not a righteous one
then he says, 'Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?' And his voice is audible to everything
except human beings; and if they heard it they would fall down unconscious . "
‘Hasten with the funeral (procession), for if the person was
righteous then you are advancing him towards good, and if he was
otherwise then it is evil which you are taking off of your necks.”
A dead man in debt used to be brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who would ask, "Has he left anything to re
pay his debts?" If he was informed that he had left something to cover his debts the Prophet (ﷺ) would
offer the funeral prayer for him; otherwise he would say to the Muslims present there), "Offer the
funeral prayer for your friend:"but when Allah helped the Prophet (ﷺ) to gain victory (on his expeditions),
he said, "I am closer to the Believers than themselves, so. if one of the Believers dies in debt, I will
repay it, but if he leaves wealth, it will be for his heirs.
