English translation

1911. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah, who attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ: "Hasten with the Janâzah, for if it was righteous then you are taking it toward something good, and if it was otherwise, then it is an evil of which you are relieving yourselves.” (Sahīh)

Arabic text

١٩١٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ، فَإِنْ تَكُ صَالِحَةً فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ تَكُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ».

Commentary

Walking briskly while carrying the deceased could denote two things: 1. Do not keep the deceased long inside the house; rather make haste in enshrouding and preparing the deceased for burial. 2. Walk at a fast pace when carrying the deceased.
