Chapter: Riding During A Funeral.
Hadith 3177
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ،عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ ، وَهُوَ مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْكَبَهَا ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : فَقَالَ : "إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ كَانَتْ تَمْشِي ، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْكَبَ وَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا رَكِبْتُ " .
Narrated Thawban: An animal was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was going with a funeral. He refused to ride on it. When the funeral was away, the animal was brought to him and he rode on it. He was asked about it. He said: The angels were on their feet. I was not to ride while they were walking. When they went away, I rode.
