Hadith of Abu Bakrah Nufay' bin al-Harith bin Kaladah (RA)

حديث أبي بكرة نفيع بن الحارث بن كلدة

Hadith 830:28

Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from 'Uyaynah, my father narrated to us, he said: I went out for the funeral of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Samurah. He said: Some men from his family began to face the funeral procession and walk backwards, saying: "Slowly, may Allah bless you." He said: Abu Bakrah caught up with us from the direction of al-Mirbad. When he saw those people and what they were doing, he charged at them with his mule and gestured toward them with his whip, and said: "Move aside! For by the One who honored the face of Abu al-Qasim (peace be upon him), I have seen us with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and we would almost be jogging with it [the funeral procession]." Yahya said once: "I have seen us with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)."

حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد، عن عيينة، حدثنا أبي، قال: خرجت في جنازة عبد الرحمن بن سمرة، قال: فجعل رجال من أهله يستقبلون الجنازة فيمشون على أعقابهم، ويقولون: رويدا بارك الله فيكم، قال: فلحقنا أبو بكرة من طريق المربد، فلما رأى أولئك، وما يصنعون حمل عليهم ببغلته، وأهوى لهم بالسوط، وقال: " خلوا، فوالذي كرم وجه أبي القاسم صلى الله عليه وسلم، لقد رأيتنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وإنا لنكاد أن نرمل بها "، وقال يحيى مرة: لقد رأيتنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
