1015. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Hurry up with the funeral (procession) for if it was good, you are advancing it to good, and it was evil, then you are taking it off of your necks." (Ṣaḥīḥ) There is something on this topic from Abū Bakrah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
١٠١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا تُقَدِّمُوهَا إِلَيْهِ»، وَإِنْ يَكُنْ شَرًّا تَضَعُوهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
