[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The rider follows the funeral procession, and the one walking may go wherever he wants from it, and prayers are performed for the deceased child." Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim and Ali ibn Hujr and Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated from Sufyan from al-Zuhri from Salim from his father that he saw the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr and Umar walking in front of the funeral procession. Abu Abd al-Rahman said, "This hadith is a mistake, and it contains the error of Ibn Uyaynah. Malik contradicted him and narrated it from al-Zuhri as marfu."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الرَّاكِبُ خَلْفَ الْجِنَازَةِ وَالْمَاشِي حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنْهَا وَالطِّفْلُ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ» 2082 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ خَطَأٌ وَهِمَ فِيهِ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ خَالَفَهُ مَالِكٌ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مُرْسَلًا
