“Do not delay the funeral once it is ready.”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُؤَخِّرُوا الْجِنَازَةَ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ  

“Abu Musa Ash’ari left instructions, when he was dying, saying: ‘Do not follow me with a censer.’* They said to him: ‘Did you hear something concerning that?’ He said: ‘Yes, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’”  

قَالَ أَوْصَى أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَالَ لاَ تُتْبِعُونِي بِمِجْمَرٍ قَالُوا لَهُ أَوَ سَمِعْتَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ نَعَمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
