مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5404 — we asked our Prophet ﷺ about the pace
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الْمَشْيِ مَعَ الْجِنَازَةِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ ، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ خَيْرًا يُعَجَّلْ إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِنْ يَكُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ، الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَا تَتْبَعُ ، لَيْسَ مِنْهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that we asked our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the pace of walking with a funeral, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Somewhat less than a fast pace (adopt a moderate pace), for if he (the deceased) is a person of good, you are hastening him towards good, and if he is something other than that, then distance (from you) is best for the people of the Fire. The funeral is to be followed, and it does not follow anyone; and whoever walks ahead of the funeral is not among those who accompany the funeral."
