Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ خَطَأٌ أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ وَإِنَّمَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ كَانُوا يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَمْشِي أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: I asked Muḥammad about this ḥadīth, and he said: This ḥadīth is a mistake; Muḥammad b. Bakr erred in it. This ḥadīth is only narrated from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, that the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr and ʿUmar used to walk in front of the funeral. Al-Zuhrī said: Sālim informed me that his father used to walk in front of the funeral. Muḥammad said: And this is more sound (aṣaḥḥ). Report a problem

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  وقد روى وهب الله بن راشد عن يونس عن الزهري في هذا حديثا أخطأ في إسناده ومتنه وكذلك رواه محمد بن بكر البرساني عن يونس عن الزهري عن أنس وهذا خطأ لا شك فيه لا أدري ممن جاء وإنما رواية يونس لهذا الحديث عن الزهري عن سالم مرسلا وبعضهم يرويه عنه عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه مسندا والذين يروونه عنه مرسلا أكثر وأحفظ وأما قوله وخلفها فلا يصح في هذا الحديث وهي لفظة منكرة فيه لا يقولها أحد من رواته

  machine translationWahb Allāh b. Rāshid also narrated from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, a ḥadīth on this subject in which he erred in both its chain and its text. Likewise Muḥammad b. Bakr al-Bursānī narrated it from Yūnus, from al-Zuhrī, from Anas. This is a mistake about which there is no doubt; I do not know from whom it came. Yūnus's narration of this ḥadīth is only from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, as a mursal report. Some narrate it from him, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father, as a connected (musnad) report, but those who narrate it from him as mursal are more numerous and better memorizers. As for the saying "and behind it", it is not sound in this ḥadīth; it is a rejected (munkar) wording in it that none of its narrators say. Report a problem
