Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the pace of walking with the funeral, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The pace should be without running. If it is good, it will be brought to it quickly; and if it is otherwise, then away with the people of the Fire. The funeral is followed, it is not made to follow; there should be no one with it who walks ahead of it."
Abu Majid is majhul (unknown), and a group of the transmission experts declared Yahya al-Jabir da'if (weak). And Allah knows best.
