Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَنَازَةُ مَتْبُوعَةٌ وَلَا تَتْبَعُ لَيْسَ مَعَهَا مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو ماجد الرَّاوِي رجل مَجْهُول

Translation

Abdullah ibn Masud reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘The funeral bier is to be followed, not followed by others; those who go ahead of it are not accompanying it.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah transmitted it. Al-Tirmidhi said, ‘Abu Majid, the transmitter, is an unknown man.’
