A man whose polytheist relative dies: does he attend him or not?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12206 — A man whose polytheist relative dies
١٢٢٠٦ - حدثنا جرير عن عطاء بن السائب قال: ماتت أم رجل من (ثقيف) (١) وهي نصرانية (فسأل) (٢) ابن (مغفل) (٣) فقال: إنّي أحب أن (أ) (٤) حضرها ولا أتبعها قال: اركب دابة وسر أمامها علوة فإنك إذا سرت أمامها فلست معها (٥).
Ata bin al-Sa'ib said: The mother of a man from Thaqif died, and she was a Christian. He asked Sayyiduna Ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) about it and said: I would like to attend her funeral but not follow behind it. He said: "Ride a mount and go ahead of her by a bowshot's distance (three to four hundred yards), for when you go ahead of her you are not counted as being with her."
