Hadith 3178

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ ، وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِفَرَسٍ ، فَعُقِلَ حَتَّى رَكِبَهُ ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَوَقَّصُ بِهِ ، وَنَحْنُ نَسْعَى حَوْلَهُ " .
Narrated Jabir bin Samurah: The Prophet ﷺ offered funeral prayer over Ibn al-Dahdah while we were present. He was then brought a horse, and it was tied until he rode it. It then began to gallop and we were running around it.
