حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرِ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَاجِدِ الْحَنَفِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ السَّيْرِ بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ السَّيْرُ دُونَ الْخَبَبِ فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا تُعْجَلْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ يَكُ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3978

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA) said: We asked our Prophet (PBUH) about walking with the bier and he said: "A rapid walk, for if he (the deceased) was good, he will be hastened (to something good), and if he was otherwise, then away with the people of Hell. The bier should be followed rather than follow; he is not one of us who walks ahead of it."
