مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5038 — We asked the Prophet ﷺ about the pace
حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ هَيْصَمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي الْوَاسِطِيَّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْجَبَّارِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ السَّيْرِ بِالْجِنَازَةِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ ، فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا يُعَجَّلْ بِهِ ، وَإِنْ يَكُ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ، الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ ، وَلَيْسَتْ بِمُتَّبِعَةٍ ، لَيْسَ مِنْهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): We asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the pace of walking with a bier, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Adopt a pace somewhat less than a fast trot (khabab); for if he (the deceased) is righteous, you are hastening him towards good, and if he is otherwise (wicked), then remoteness is the lot of the people of the Fire. The bier is what is followed; it does not follow anyone, and whoever walks ahead of the bier is not of (those accompanying) it."
