Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) one day in the course of his sermon made mention of a person among his Companions who had died and had been wrapped in a shroud not long (enough to cover his whole body) and was buried during the night. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) reprimanded (the audience) that a person was buried during the night (in a state that) funeral prayer could not be offered (over him by the Messenger of Allah). (And this is permissible only) when it becomes a dire necessity for a man. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) also said: When any one of you shrouds his brother, he should shroud him well.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ يَوْمًا فَذَكَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قُبِضَ فَكُفِّنَ فِي كَفَنٍ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ وَقُبِرَ لَيْلًا فَزَجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُضْطَرَّ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَفَّنَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُحَسِّنْ كَفَنَهُ
  حضرت جا بر بن عبد اللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ بیان کر تے ہیں کہ ایک دن نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے خطبہ دیا ، آپ نے اپنے اصحاب میں سے ایک آدمی کا تذکرہ فر ما یا جو فوت ہوا تو اس کو معمولی ( کپڑے میں ) کفن دیا گیا اور رات ہی کو دفن کر دیا گیا تو نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے کسی بھی آدمی کو رات کو دفن کرنے سے ڈانٹ کر روکا یہاں تک کہ اس کی ( شان شایان طریقے سے ) نماز جنازہ ادا کی جا ئے اولاًیہ کہ کو ئی انسان اس پر مجبور ہو جا ئے اور نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : " جب تم میں سے کو ئی شخص اپنے بھا ئی کو کفن دے تو اسے اچھا کفن دے ۔
