( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ:
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَيَّعَ جِنَازَةً فَأُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْكَبَهَا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أُتِيَ بِدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ كَانَتْ تَمْشِي فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْكَبَ وَهُمْ يَمْشُونَ، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا - أَوْ قَالَ: عَرَجُوا - رَكِبْتُ

The Prophet ﷺ accompanied a funeral procession, and a riding animal was brought to him, but he refused to ride it. When he returned, a riding animal was brought to him and he rode it. He was asked about that, and he said: "The angels were walking, so I would not ride while they were walking. When they left - or he said: when they ascended - I rode."

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هذا حديث خطأ ليس الحديث من حديث أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن وأبو سلمة عن ثوبان لا يجيء إنما هذا حديث يرويه أبو سلام عن ثوبان ويحيى بن أبي كثير يروي عن زيد بن سلام عن جده أبي سلام فيحتمل أن يكون أخذه عن زيد عن أبي سلام عن ثوبان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأسقط زيدا من الوسط أو لم يحفظ عنه ولا أعلم روى أبو سلمة عن ثوبان إلا حديثا يرويه أبو سعد البقال وهو حديث منكر عن أبي سلمة عن ثوبان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من شهد أن لا إله إلا الله قال أبي وأبو سعد البقال لا أعلم سمع من أبي سلمة ولا من أبي سلام وإذا رأيت الرجل لا يروي عنه الثوري وأراه قال وشعبة وقد أدركاه فما ظنك به
machine translationThis hadith is an error. It is not a hadith of Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, and Abū Salamah's narration from Thawbān does not occur. Rather, this is a hadith narrated by Abū Sallām from Thawbān. Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr narrates from Zayd b. Sallām, from his grandfather Abū Sallām. So it is possible that he took it from Zayd, from Abū Sallām, from Thawbān, from the Prophet ﷺ, and dropped Zayd from the middle, or that he did not memorize it from him. I do not know of Abū Salamah narrating from Thawbān anything except a hadith narrated by Abū Saʿd al-Baqqāl, and it is a rejected (munkar) hadith, from Abū Salamah, from Thawbān, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but God..." My father said: As for Abū Saʿd al-Baqqāl, I do not know that he heard from Abū Salamah or from Abū Sallām. And when you see a man from whom al-Thawrī does not narrate, and I think he said, and Shuʿbah, though they both lived in his time, then what do you think of him?

الصحيح وقفه على ثوبان
machine translationThe correct view is that it is stopped (mawqūf) at Thawbān.
