[Machine] We asked our Prophet ﷺ about the funeral procession, and he said that the procession should be ahead of the coffin, for if it is a good person, it will be hurried towards their destination, and if it is otherwise, then it will be distancing the people of Hellfire. The funeral procession follows, and it is not from us those who precede it.
سَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ عَنِ السَّيْرِ بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَقَالَ السَّيْرُ دُونَ الْخَبَبِ فَإِنْ يَكُ خَيْرًا تُعْجَلْ إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ يَكُ سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَبُعْدًا لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا
