About Speedy Repayment of the Debts of a Deceased Person and Preparation of Burial
Hadith 943
Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet said,
"The soul of the deceased believer remains pending on account of the debt till it (the debt) is repayed.'' [At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: The Divine decision regarding the redemption or punishment of a dead man remains suspended till the time his debt, if any, is paid off. A bereaved family is supposed to give top priority to the clearance of a debt.

Hadith 944
Hussain bin Wahwah reported: When Talhah bin Al-Bara' fell ill, the Prophet came to visit him and said,
"Verily, I think that Talhah is about to die. So inform me when he is dead and make haste (in burying him). Indeed, it is improper for the corpse of a Muslim to be kept lying unburied among his family members.'' [Abu Dawud].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us that a delay in the burial of a dead person will be considered ill-advised if not supported by solid reasons or a Shari`ah argument.
