Narrated Al-Husayn ibn Wahwah: Talhah ibn al-Bara fell ill and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to pay him a sick-visit. He said: I think Talhah has died; so tell me (about his death), and make haste, for it is not advisable that the corpse of a Muslim should remain withheld among his family.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to take a bath on account of sexual defilement, on Friday, for cupping and washing the dead.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: He who washes the dead should take a bath, and he who carries him should perform ablution.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: This has been abrogated. When Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about a man taking a bath after his washing the dead, I heard him say: Ablution is sufficient for him. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abu Salih made a mention of the narrator Ishaq, the client of Zaidah between him and Abu Hurairah. He said: The tradition of Musab is weak. It contains many things that are not practised.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم that he kissed Uthman ibn Maz'un while he was dead, and I saw that tears were flowing (from his eyes).

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The people saw fire (light) in the graveyard and they went there. They found that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was in a grave and he was saying: Give me your companion. This was a man who used to raise his voice while mentioning the name of Allah.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: On the day of Uhud we brought the martyrs to bury them (at another place), but the crier of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came and said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has commanded you to bury the martyrs at the place where they fell. So we took them back.

Narrated Malik ibn Hubayrah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If any Muslim dies and three rows of Muslims pray over him, it will assure him (of Paradise). When Malik considered those who accompanied a bier to be a few, he divided them into three rows in accordance with this tradition.

Narrated Umm Atiyyah: We were forbidden accompany the biers, but it was not stressed upon us.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: If anyone attends the funeral and prays over (the dead), he will get the reward of one qirat, and if anyone attends the funeral until the completion (of the burial), he will get the reward of two qirats, the smaller of them being equivalent of Uhud, or one of them being equivalent to Uhud.
