Hadith 20400

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ فِي جَنَازَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ يَسْتَقْبِلُونَ الْجِنَازَةَ ، فَيَمْشُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : رُوَيْدًا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ ، قَالَ : فَلَحِقَنَا أَبُو بَكْرَةَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ المِرْبَدِ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أُولَئِكَ وَمَا يَصْنَعُونَ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِبَغْلَتِهِ ، وَأَهْوَى لَهُمْ بِالسَّوْطِ ، وَقَالَ : خَلُّوا ، فَوَالَّذِي كَرَّمَ وَجْهَ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنَّا لَنَكَادُ أَنْ نَرْمُلَ بِهَا " ، وَقَالَ يَحْيَى مَرَّةً : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Uyaina narrates from his father: I participated in the funeral of Abdur Rahman bin Samurah. Some people from his family turned their faces towards the funeral and started walking backwards on their heels, saying, "Walk slowly, may Allah bless you." On the way to Marbad, Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also joined the funeral. When he saw those people and their action, he moved his mule towards them, rushed with a whip, and said, "Leave its way! By the One who honored the face of Abu al-Qasim, I have seen myself with the Prophet (peace be upon him) that we used to walk quickly while carrying the funeral."
