(38) باب التَّعْجِيلِ بِالْجَنَازَةِ وَكَرَاهِيَةِ حَبْسِهَا
Narrated Al-Husayn ibn Wahwah:
Talhah ibn al-Bara' fell ill and the Prophet (ﷺ) came to pay him a sick-visit. He said: I think Talhah has died; so tell me (about his death), and make haste, for it is not advisable that the corpse of a Muslim should remain withheld among his family. (AR)
