Discussion of the third hadith from the “Chapter: Encouraging hastening with the funeral and expediting the burial,” the hadith of Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), in which he said:

The Shaykh : The hadith that follows is one of the weak hadiths, and it contains nothing but a confirmation of the hadith before it, so let us move on to a new section if there is ample time. What do you think?

Eid Abbasi : There are questions that can be addressed.

The Shaykh : Then our next lesson, if Allah wills, will be on the “Chapter: Encouraging supplication for the deceased and speaking well of him, and warning against anything else, such as criticizing the deceased or mentioning him with bad words.”
And this is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Please state your question, Professor.

The questioner : There are five hadiths before it... we have explained them.

The Shaykh : Good.

The questioner : Before the one before that, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, I think we did not...

The Shaykh : What chapter is it, my brother?

The questioner : It is the same category.

Eid Abbasi : Encouraging hastening with the funeral?

The Shaykh : Encouraging hastening; I only have three hadiths.

The questioner : So we have five here.

The Shaykh : What do you have? Bring it so we can see.

Eid Abbasi : Bring it so we can see...

The Shaykh : In the lesson, we will listen to them from you.
