اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيَّعَ جِنَازَةً، فَأُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْكَبَهَا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَهَا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ كَانَتْ تَمْشِي فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْكَبُ وَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا أَوْ قَالَ عَرَجُوا رَكِبْتُ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) attended a funeral. A mount was brought for him (peace and blessings be upon him), but he (peace and blessings be upon him) declined to ride it. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished with the funeral and was leaving, a mount was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The angels were walking on foot, and I did not think it fitting to ride while they were walking. When they left, or he said: when they ascended, I rode."
