The Prophet (said) said: A bier should not be followed by a loud voice (of wailing) or fire. Abu Dawud said: Harun (one of the narrators) added: "And it should not be preceded (with those) either."

أبو داود:٣١٧١ – حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنِي بَابُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
