بَابُ الْمَشْيِ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِChapter on walking in front of the funeral procession
Hadith 528
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : " مَا رَأَيْتُ أَبِي قَطُّ فِي جَنَازَةٍ إِلَّا أَمَامَهَا " قَالَ : " ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الْبَقِيعَ فَيَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يَمُرُّوا عَلَيْهِ "
It is narrated from Hisham bin Urwah that I always saw my father Urwah walking in front of the funeral procession, until he would reach Baqi and sit there, remaining seated until the funeral had passed by.
