Riyad as-Salihin 941 (Book 6, Hadith 48) #37430
Hurry Up with Burial of Dead

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised to quickly bury the dead body, as it is a good deed if the deceased was pious and a way of getting rid of an evil.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet 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". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي ى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏أسرعوا بالجنازة، فإن تك صالحة، فخير تقدمونها إليه، وإن تك سوي ذلك، فشر تضعونه عن رقابكم‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏وفي رواية لمسلم‏:‏ ‏"‏فخير تقدمونها عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Hurry up with burial of dead body

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when someone passes away, we should hurry up with their burial. This is because if they were pious and righteous people, then we are sending them off to goodness by burying them quickly. On the other hand, if they were not so righteous in life, then burying them quickly will help us get rid of any evil associated with them. It is important to remember that this advice applies regardless of whether or not we knew the person who passed away; it is our duty as Muslims to ensure that all dead bodies are buried in a timely manner. We must also remember that this advice applies even during times when there may be restrictions on funerals due to pandemics or other circumstances; we must still do our best to ensure that all dead bodies are buried in accordance with Islamic teachings and traditions.
