‘Uyaynah bin ‘Abdur Rahman bin Jawsh said: “My father told me: I witnessed the funeral of ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah. Ziyad came out, walking in front of the bier, and some men from the family of ‘Abdur-Rahman and their freed slaves came out, facing the bier and walking backward, saying: ‘Slow down, slow down, may Allah bless you.’ And they were walking slowly. Then when they were partway to Al Mirbad, Abu Bakrah joined us on his mule. When he saw what they were doing, he rushed to them on his mule, brandishing his whip, and said: ‘Move on, for by the One Who honored the face of Abu Al Qasim , I remember when we were with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم
we were walking fast, so the
people speeded up.” (Sahih)
