Speed up the Burial

Speed up the Burial

»Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon Him) saying:

"Hurry up with the dead body (for its burial), for if it is pious, you are speeding it to goodness and if it is otherwise, you are laying an evil off your necks." «([1])
