Chapter 16 What was narrated concerning walking ahead of the funeral (procession)
باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْمَشْىِ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ
Sunan Ibn Majah 1484
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The funeral should be followed and should not follow.
There should be no one with it who walks ahead of it.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَاجِدَةَ الْحَنَفِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ” الْجِنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِتَابِعَةٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا ” .
