حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنِي بَابُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تُتْبَعُ الْجَنَازَةُ بِصَوْتٍ وَلاَ نَارٍ " . زَادَ هَارُونُ " وَلاَ يُمْشَى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا " .
The Prophet (said) said: A bier should not be followed by a loud voice (of wailing) or fire. Abu Dawud said: Harun (one of the narrators) added: "And it should not be preceded (with those) either."
