[2185] 49 - (943) Jâbir bin‘Abdullâh narrated that theProphet ﷺ delivered a Khutbahone day, and he mentioned aman among his Companions whodied and was shrouded in ashroud that was not goodenough, and was buried at night.The Prophet ﷺ censured thepractice of burying a man atnight, so that the funeral prayermight be offered for him, unlessone was compelled to do that.And the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whenone of you shrouds his brother,let him shroud him well."

Arabic text

49 - (943) حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا، فَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قُبِضَ فَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ، وَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا، فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ، فَلْيُحَسِّنْ كَفَنَهُ»
