مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5154 — We asked the Prophet ﷺ about the pace
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ السَّيْرِ بِالْجَنَازَةِ، فَقَالَ: «السَّيْرُ مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا يُعَجَّلُ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ يَكُ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ، الْجَنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مِنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): We asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the pace of walking with a funeral, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The pace of a funeral should be somewhat less than a trot, for if he (the deceased) is righteous, you are hastening him towards good; and if he is other than that, then ruin and remoteness are for the people of the Fire. The funeral is to be followed, and he is not one of us who walks ahead of it."
