Riyad as-Salihin 944 (Book 6, Hadith 51) #37433
Proper Burial of Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that it is improper for the corpse of a Muslim to be kept lying unburied among his family members.

Hussain bin Wahwah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Talhah bin Al-Bara' (May Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, the Prophet came to visit him and said, "Verily, I think that Talhah is about to die. So inform me when he is dead and make haste (in burying him). Indeed, it is improper for the corpse of a Muslim to be kept lying unburied among his family members". Abu Dawud.
وعن حصين بن وحوح رضي الله عنه أن طلحة بن البراء رضي الله عنه مرض، فأتاه النبي الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم يعوده فقال‏:‏ إني لا أري طلحة إلا قد حدث فيه الموت فآذوني به وعجلوا به، فإنه لا ينبغي لجيفة مسلم أن تحبس بين ظهراني أهله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of burying a deceased Muslim in a timely manner. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ visited Talhah bin Al-Bara' when he was ill and informed his companions that he would soon pass away. He then instructed them to make haste in burying him as soon as possible and not keep his body unburied among his family members. This hadith emphasizes the importance of proper burial for Muslims and how it should not be delayed or neglected in any way. It also serves as an example for us to follow when we are faced with similar situations in our own lives; we should ensure that our loved ones are buried properly and without delay so they can rest peacefully in their graves until the Day of Judgment arrives.
