عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ الْعَيْزَارَ، يَسْأَلُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الْمَشْيِ أَمَامَ الْجِنَازَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَسٌ: إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُشَيِّعٌ، فَامْشِ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَمَامَهَا، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ خَلْفَهَا، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَنْ يَسَارِهَا
Translation
✧ I heard al-ʿAyzār ask Anas b. Mālik about walking in front of the funeral bier. Anas said to him: 'You are only a mourner escorting it. So walk, if you wish, in front of it; if you wish, behind it; if you wish, on its right; and if you wish, on its left.'
