Musnad Ahmad 3734 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى الْجَابِرُ أَبُو الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَاجدٍ ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّيْرِ بِالْجِنَازَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " السَّيْرُ مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ ، فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا تُعْجَلْ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ قَالَ : لِتُعْجَلْ إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِنْ يَكُ سِوَى ذَاكَ ، فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ ، الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ ، وَلَا تَتْبَعُ ، لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about walking with a funeral procession. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A pace that does not amount to running; if he was righteous, he is being quickly taken towards his good end, and if not, then the people of Hell should be kept far away. And the funeral should be followed, not preceded (the funeral should be in front and those walking should be behind it)."
