Hadith 3181
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجَنَازَةِ ، فَإِنْ تَكُ صَالِحَةً فَخَيْرٌ تُقَدِّمُونَهَا إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِنْ تَكُ سِوَى ذَلِكَ ، فَشَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: Walk quickly with a funeral, for if the dead person was good it is a good condition to which you are sending him on, but it he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are riding yourselves.
Hadith 3182
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي جَنَازَةِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ، وَكُنَّا نَمْشِي مَشْيًا خَفِيفًا ، فَلَحِقَنَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ ، فَرَفَعَ سَوْطَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَرْمُلُ رَمَلًا " .
Uyaynah ibn Abdur Rahman reported on the authority of his father that he attended the funeral of Uthman ibn Abul As. He said: We were walking slowly. Abu Bakrah then joined us and he raised his flog at us and said: You have seen us when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We were walking quickly.
Hadith 3183
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ ،حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَا فِي جَنَازَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ وَقَالَ : فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَغْلَتَهُ ، وَأَهْوَى بِالسَّوْطِ .
Uyaynah also reported the aforementioned tradition (No. 3176) through a different chain of transmitters. This version goes: We attended the funeral of Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah and he said: He (Abu Bakrah) made his mule run quickly and pointed with the flog.
Hadith 3184
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْمُجَبِّرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهُوَ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَشْيِ مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ ، فَقَالَ " مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ إِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا تَعَجَّلَ إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِنْ يَكُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ، وَالْجَنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ ، وَلَا تُتْبَعُ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، هُوَ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذَا كُوفِيٌّ ، وَأَبُو مَاجِدَةَ بَصْرِيٌّ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَبُو مَاجِدَةَ هَذَا لَا يُعْرَفُ 10 .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We asked the Prophet ﷺ about walking with the funeral. He replied: Not running (but walking quickly). If he (the dead person) was good, send him to it quickly; if he was otherwise, keep away the people of Hell. The bier should be followed and should not follow. Those who go in front of it are not accompanying it. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Yahya bin Abdullah is weak. He is Yahya al-Jabir Abu Dawud said: This is from Kufah, and Abu Majidah is from Basrah. Abu Dawud said: Abu Majidah is obscure.
