Chapter on Walking with the Funeral and Praying Over It

Zujajat al-Masabih 2136Volume 1

English

Nafi' reported: Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went out, and I was with him, to a funeral. He saw women with it, so he stopped and said, "Send them back, for they are a trial for the living and the dead." Then he proceeded and walked behind it. I said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, how should one walk in a funeral? In front of it or behind it?" He replied, "Do you not see me walking behind it?"
