Q
What is the significance of treating the bier with care and respect during a funeral procession in Islam?
A
We presented ourselves along with Ibn `Abbas at the funeral procession of Maimuna at a place called
Sarif. Ibn `Abbas said, “This is the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) so when you lift her bier, do not Jerk it or
shake it much, but walk smoothly because the Prophet (ﷺ) had nine wives and he used to observe the
night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was no night turn.”
