بَابُ الْمَشْيِ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِChapter on walking in front of the funeral procession
Hadith 526
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ " كَانُوا يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ وَالْخُلَفَاءُ هَلُمَّ جَرًّا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ "
It is narrated from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, and all the caliphs used to walk in front of the funeral procession, and Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, also used to do so.
