English translation

Jabir bin ‘Abdullah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Do not bury your dead during the night unless you have to do so." Related by Ibn Majah. Muslim reported a similar narration, but Jabir said in his narration, ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) disapproved that someone is buried at night, unless the funeral prayer has been offered for him.’
