21. Funerals
٢١۔ كتاب الجنائز
"The Messenger of Allah said: "The rider should travel behind the Janazah and the pedestrian may travel wherever he wishes, and the (funeral) prayer should be offered for a child."'
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الرَّاكِبُ خَلْفَ الْجَنَازَةِ وَالْمَاشِي حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنْهَا وَالطِّفْلُ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
That his father saw the Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, walking in front of the Janazah.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ
That his father told him that he was the Prophet, Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman walking in front of the Janazah.
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ يَمْشُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الْجَنَازَةِ بَكْرٌ وَحْدَهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ مُرْسَلٌ
