Book 6: Chapters Regarding Funerals

Chapter 18 The funeral should not be delayed once the bier is ready, and the funeral procession should not be followed with fire
باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ لاَ تُؤَخَّرُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ وَلاَ تُتْبَعُ بِنَارٍ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1486

It was
narrated from ‘Ali bin Abu Talib that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said: “Do not delay the funeral once it is ready.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏”‏ لاَ تُؤَخِّرُوا الْجِنَازَةَ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
