Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

59
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ : أَسْرِعُوا بِجَنَائِزِكُمْ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهُ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ شَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abu Hurayra said,"Make your funerals speedy, for it is only good that you are advancinghim towards, or evil that you are taking off your necks."
