Abdur Rahman bin Mehran, may Allah have mercy on him, says that when the time of death of Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, approached, he said: "Do not set up any tent over me, do not take fire with me, and take me quickly, because I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: When a righteous man is placed on the bier, he says, 'Take me forward quickly, take me forward quickly,' and if a sinful man is placed on the bier, he says, 'Alas, where are you taking me?'"
