Please provide the correct translation and reference of the following:
Sayyiduan ‘Ali (radiyallahu’anhu) said that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) advised haste in 5 matters: Establishing Salah, repentance before death, completing the funeral rites of the deceased, paying off debts, marriage when a suitable match is found. Jazakumullah.
Answer
Imam Tirmidhi (rahimahullah) has recorded a narration on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu’anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
O ‘Ali, do not delay in three things; 1) Salah when its time arrives, 2) Offering the janazah salah when the bier is present and 3) Marriage of a woman whose match is found
(Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 171 & 1075 , Declared as sound (hasan) by ‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah). See Takhrijul Ihya, Hadith: 1371)
Haste in five things have been reported as the advice of Imam Hatim Al-Asamm (rahimahullah). He said:
“Haste is from Shaytan but in the following five deeds:
1) Feeding
2) preparing the deceased for burial
3) Getting a virgin girl married.
4) Repayment of debts
5) Repentance before death.
(Hilyatul Awliya; see Ithafus Sadatil Muttaqin, vol.5 pg.251)
I haven’t seen these five in the narration of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu’anhu)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
