Wahb bin Munabbih narrates: These are the questions that I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), and he informed me that: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and mentioned one of his Companions who had passed away; he was given a poor (inferior) shroud and was buried at night. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sternly forbade that a man be buried at night without the funeral prayer being offered over him (properly), unless a person is compelled to do so. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you becomes the guardian (the one responsible) for his brother, let him give him a good shroud."
