Hadith 246

أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، أنا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةٍ، كُنْتُ إِذَا مَشَيْتُ سَبَقَنِي فَأُهَرْوِلُ، فَإِذَا هَرْوَلْتُ سَبَقْتُهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَنْبِي: ((إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى لَهُ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a funeral procession. When I walked, he would go ahead of me, and then I started walking faster. When I walked faster, I went ahead of him. There was a man beside me, he said: The earth is being folded for you.
