Tirmidhi Book 10, Hadith 1015
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجَنَازَةِ، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا تُقَدِّمُوهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ يَكُنْ شَرًّا تَضَعُوهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ . وَفِي الْبَاب: عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Prophet said: Hurry up with the funeral (procession) for if it was good, you are advancing it to good, and if it was evil, then you are taking it off your necks.
