Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the bier (funeral bed) is placed and people lift it on their shoulders, if the (deceased) was righteous, he says: 'Take me forward,' and if he was not righteous, he says: 'Woe! Where are they taking me?' Everything except humans hears his voice, and if a human were to hear it, he would fall unconscious."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the funeral (bier) is placed (on the cot) and people lift it onto their shoulders, if the deceased was righteous, it says: 'Take me forward,' and if it was not righteous, it says: 'Woe to me! Where are they taking it?' Everything except humans hears its voice; if a human were to hear it, he would fall unconscious."

Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded us to accompany the funeral, visit the sick, respond to one who sneezes, fulfill the oath of one who swears, help the oppressed, spread the greeting of peace, and accept invitations. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The command to accompany the funeral and visit the sick is for seeking reward; it is not an obligatory command. As for responding to one who sneezes and fulfilling an oath, the wording of the command is general but its intent is specific. That is, responding to one who sneezes is only obligatory when he praises Allah, and fulfilling an oath is obligatory in some cases, not in all cases. As for helping the oppressed and accepting invitations, these are commands that are obligatory at certain times and not obligatory at other times. As for the command to spread the greeting of peace, the wording is general, but what is meant is that it should be done with Muslims; it should not be done with non-Muslims.
