Hadith 6:429
Jarir ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated to us, from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih, from his father, who said: The companions of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to walk in front of the funeral procession. When they had moved far away from it, they would stand and wait for it.
حدثنا جرير بن عبد الحميد عن سهيل بن أبي صالح عن أبيه قال كان أصحاب محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يمشون أمام الجنازة حتى إذا تباعدوا عنها قاموا ينتظرونها
