Yes, masala is saheeh. It is important for the guardians to arrange for the burial of a person as soon as possible after his death and this is the provision of Shariah. In our country, burial is delayed for various reasons, which are makrooh tahrimi and najazi in the Shari'ah, such as delaying a few hours to show his face. His son or other relatives are late to arrive from afar. Sometimes after a few hours of Jumu'ah or after any Jama'at, it was delayed in the hope that more people would be able to attend the Janazah Jama'at, whereas the burial could be easily completed before that time. Sometimes the burial of the deceased is delayed in transferring the body from one country or city to another, but it is forbidden in the Shari'ah to delay the burial in these circumstances. Reasons for the delay in the burial of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed away on Monday afternoon. According to most, the body of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was buried on the night of Tuesday. Some mentioned it on Tuesday and some on Wednesday. Basically, this late death has been confirmed and it has been done for the janaza prayer, and in this urgency, as much time as it takes must be given. There was no delay in the burial, which has been delayed for a long time due to the funeral prayers of the people. The appointment of a caliph was important in perpetuating the 23 years of education, culture and good ideals that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had set. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq agreed to solve this task. Hazrat Umar Farooq agreed. Hazrat Ali agreed because the great Companions like him were busy in choosing the caliph. Prominent people perform baths, shrouds, etc., but burial is delayed because many did not believe at first that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had died. It has been a long time since everyone believed in the death of Huzur's sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Even Hazrat Umar agreed. He declared that whoever says that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has passed away, I will cut him in two with the sword. The second reason is that it took a long time to perform the janaza prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Because no one became the Imam of the janazah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). On the contrary, Hazrat Ayesha agreed with two or four people. Entered the Huzura of and everyone prayed alone. Thousands of disciples agreed. Thus, it took a long time to pray in a small place. For all these reasons, the burial of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has been delayed. So it would not be correct to compare it with anyone else. Nowadays, it has become a custom to move the body to a distant place and to delay the janaza and burial by 2/1 days, even his relatives have started behaving like this with many God-fearing people. At such a moment, one should work hard to stop this bad ritual and write a will. 6665778721
