Chapter on Walking with the Funeral and Praying Over It

Zujajat al-Masabih 2139Volume 1

English

Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: We went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) for a funeral, and he saw some people riding. He said, "Do you not feel ashamed? The angels of Allah are on their feet, and you are on the backs of animals." [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, and Abu Dawud narrated something similar] Al-Tirmidhi said: "It has also been reported from Thawban as Mawquf."

Note 1

ف: واضح ہو کہ جنازہ کے ساتھ بغیر عذر کے سواری پر چلنا خواہ جنازہ کے آگے چلیں یا پیچھے ہر حالت میں مکروہ ہے، ہاں اگر عذر ہو تو سواری پر جنازہ کے پیچھے چل سکتے ہیں، آگے نہیں چلنا چاہئے (درمختار، عالمگیری، مرقات۔)
