Hadith on Funerals: Cries of the dead as they are carried away

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “When the body is placed in the bier, and men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased was a righteous man, he says, ‘Go with me!’ If the deceased was something else, he says to his people, ‘Woe to it! Where are you taking me?’ Everything but human beings hears his voice. If someone had heard it, he would faint.

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا وُضِعَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ فَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ قَدِّمُونِي وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ قَالَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا يَا وَيْلَهَا أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الْإِنْسَانَ وَلَوْ سَمِعَ الْإِنْسَانُ لَصَعِقَ
