Hadith 42
The Book on Jana''iz (Funerals)
Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrated that:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The rider is to be behind the funeral (procession), and the walker where he wishes, and the child should be prayed over."
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ آدَمَ ابْنُ بِنْتِ أَزْهَرَ السَّمَّانِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ حَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
الرَّاكِبُ خَلْفَ الْجَنَازَةِ وَالْمَاشِي حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنْهَا وَالطِّفْلُ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ
