Guidance from The Prophet (saws)
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "Whoever follows the funeral procession and offers the funeral prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever attends it till burial, will get a reward equal to two Qirat.`` It was asked, "What are two Qirat?`` He (PBUH) replied, "Equal to two huge mountains.``

Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (saws) encouraged the believers to attend the burial of their believing brethren stating that one who follows the funeral and offers the prayer would get a reward as huge as a mountain….and if one follows the burial, offers the funeral prayer, and waits till the deceased is buried in the grave one would be entitled to earn a reward of two huge mountains.

Guidance from The Prophet (saws)
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reported: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) saying, "Hurry up with the dead body (for its burial), for if it is pious, you are speeding it to goodness; and if it is otherwise, you are laying an evil off your necks.``'

Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (saws) guided the believers to hasten and not delay the burial, without an absolutely genuine reason, of any deceased….for if the deceased was pious, it would be speeded towards goodness in its grave; and if the deceased was otherwise, a burden would be hastened away from mankind.

Guidance from The Prophet (saws)
Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Masud (r.a.) reported: 'The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "Envy is permitted only in two cases: A man whom Allah gives wealth, and he disposes of it rightfully, and a man to whom Allah gives knowledge which he applies and teaches it.``'
Related by Bukhari and Muslim.
Commentary:
Jealousy, envy, or 'hasad' are evil traits and considered absolutely unlawful for the believers, except in two cases:
1. It is permissible for one to envy a believer whom the Lord Most Gracious has blessed with abundance, and this believer fears his Lord and spends his wealth in the Cause of Allah Subhanah.
2. It is permissible for one to envy a believer whom the Lord Most Gracious has blessed with religious knowledge, and this believer fears his Lord and applies and shares this bestowed knowledge for the good of mankind.
Envy here does not imply that the Lord take away the wealth or the knowledge He has bestowed on the other; but rather one desires that he too would be given wealth and knowledge and he too would expend it in the Cause of Allah like the other does.
