English translation

3177. It was narrated from Thawbān that a mount was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he was at a funeral, and he refused to ride. When the funeral was over, a mount was brought and he rode it. He was asked about that, and he said: "The Angels were walking, and I would not have ridden when they were walking. When they left, I rode." (Ḍāʿif)

Arabic text

3177 - 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، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ 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»
