Original Arabic

وعن أبي سعيد الخدري، رضي الله عنه ، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏إذا وضعت الجنازة واحتملها الناس أو الرجال على أعناقهم، فإن كانت صالحة قالت‏:‏ فدموني قدموني، وإن كانت غير صالحة، قالت يا ويلها‏!‏ أين تذهبون بها‏؟‏ يسمع صوته كل شئ إلا الإنسان، ولو سمعه صعق‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Translation

English translation

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a dead body is placed on a bier and men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased was pious, it (the corpse) will say: 'Take me in haste'; but if he was not, it will say (to its bearers): 'Woe to it. Where are you taking it?' Everything except man hears its voice. Had a human being heard its voice, he would have surely died". [Al- Bukhari].
