حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَی الْمُجَبِّرِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهُوَ يَحْيَی بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التَّيْمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْمَشْيِ مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ فَقَالَ مَا دُونَ الْخَبَبِ إِنْ يَکُنْ خَيْرًا تَعَجَّلَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ يَکُنْ غَيْرَ ذَلِکَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ وَالْجَنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَا تُتْبَعُ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ هُوَ يَحْيَی بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَحْيَی الْجَابِرُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهَذَا کُوفِيٌّ وَأَبُو مَاجِدَةَ بَصْرِيٌّ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد أَبُو مَاجِدَةَ هَذَا لَا يُعْرَفُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3184
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We asked the Prophet ﷺ about walking with the funeral. He replied: Not running (but walking quickly). If he (the dead person) was good, send him to it quickly; if he was otherwise, keep away the people of Hell. The bier should be followed and should not follow. Those who go in front of it are not accompanying it. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Yahya bin Abdullah is weak. He is Yahya al-Jabir Abu Dawud said: This is from Kufah, and Abu Majidah is from Basrah. Abu Dawud said: Abu Majidah is obscure.
