[Machine] "And not everyone among them is able to offer it, and Sufyan recited [recounted] it to me, I heard Yahya al-Jabir saying, I heard Abu Mājid al-Hanafi saying, I heard Abdullah saying, We asked the Messenger of Allah [Prophet Muhammad] ﷺ about walking alongside the funeral procession. He said, 'It is followed and not followed.'"  

أحمد:٣٥٨٥حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ

وَلَيْسَ مِنْهَا مَنْ يَقْدُمُهَا وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى الْجَابِرَ عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقُولُ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ السَّيْرِ بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِتَابِعَةٍ
