حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: نَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ؓ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُشَيِّعُ جِنَازَةً إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِدَابَّةٍ لِيَرْكَبَهَا فَأَبَى، فَلَمَّا دُلِّيَتِ الْجِنَازَةُ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ بِدَابَّةٍ فَرَكِبَهَا، فَلَقِيَهُ الْأَوَّلُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكَ دَابَّتِي لِتَرْكَبَهَا فَأَبَيْتَ، وَعَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ فُلَانٌ دَابَّتَهُ فَرَكِبْتَهَا، قَالَ: إِنَّكَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ دَابَّتَكَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ تُشَيِّعُ الْجِنَازَةَ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْكَبَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ تَمْشِي، أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ عَرَضْتَهَا بَعْدَ مَا دُفِنَتْ لَرَكِبْتُهَا

✧ While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was escorting a funeral, a man came to him with a mount for him to ride, but he refused. When the funeral was lowered, another man came to him with a mount, and he rode it. Then the first man met him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I offered you my mount to ride but you refused, and so-and-so offered you his mount and you rode it." He said: "You offered me your mount while the angels were escorting the funeral, and I was not going to ride while the angels were walking. If you had offered it after it was buried, I would have ridden it."
