Chapter 21 · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)الرُّكُوبِ فِي الْجَنَازَةِ
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ،عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ: أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ، وَهُوَ مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْكَبَهَا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ كَانَتْ تَمْشِي، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْكَبَ وَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا رَكِبْتُ .

Riding During A Funeral
An animal was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم while he was going with a funeral. He refused to ride on it. When the funeral was away, the animal was brought to him and he rode on it. He was asked about it. He said: The angels were on their feet. I was not to ride while they were walking. When they went away, I rode.
