English translation
3184. It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ūd said: "We asked our Prophet ﷺ about walking with the Janāzah. He said: 'A rapid walk. If (the deceased) was good then send him quickly (to what is good for him) and if he was otherwise then may the people of Hell be doomed. And the Janāzah should be followed, rather than follow; those who walk ahead of it are not accompanying it.'" (Da'īf) Abū Dāwūd said: He (one of the narrators) is weak; he is Yahyā bin ‘Abdullāh, and he is (also called) Yahyā Al-Jābir. Abū Dāwūd said: This one is from Al-Kūfah, and Abū Mājidah (whom Yahyā narrated it from) is from Al-Baṣrah. Abū Dāwūd said: This Abū Mājidah is not known.
