بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي حَمْلِ الْجَنَازَةِ وَالْإِسْرَاعِ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ رَمَلٍ
Chapter on what is reported regarding carrying the funeral and hastening with it without running
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3195 — on what is reported regarding carrying
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ السَّيْرِ بِالْجَنَازَةِ، فَقَالَ: السَّيْرُ مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ، فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا يُعَجَّلْ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ تُعَجَّلْ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ يَكَ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ، الْجَنَازَةُ مَطْبُوعَةٌ وَلَا تَتْبَعُ، لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the manner of carrying the funeral procession. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It should be carried quickly, but not run with. If the deceased was righteous, he will quickly reach goodness, and if he was not righteous, then destruction is for the people of the Fire. Walk behind the funeral, do not make it follow behind you. Whoever walks ahead of the funeral is not from among us.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Those walking on foot may walk to the right, left, in front of, or behind the funeral procession; further clarification of this issue is coming ahead.
