أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَکَّارٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ حَيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّاکِبُ خَلْفَ الْجَنَازَةِ وَالْمَاشِي حَيْثُ شَائَ مِنْهَا وَالطِّفْلُ يُصَلَّی عَلَيْهِ
