Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Promtness in Tajheed and Takfeen (funeral preparations)

Hadrat Husain bin Wahmah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that when Talha bin al-Bara was ill and the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) came to visit him and said, “I cannot help feeling that Talha’s death is near, so tell me when it occurs and hasten the funeral preparations, for it is not fitting that the corpse of a Muslim should be detained among his family. [Abu Daud, Mishkat]

Hadrat Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that he heard the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) say, “When one of you dies, do not keep him long, but take him quietly to his grave, and have the opening verses of Surah al-Baqarah (ii) recited at his head and the concluding verses of the same Surah from till the end of the Surah at his feet”. [Baihaqi, Mishkat]
