It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I went with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to a funeral. When I was walking at my own pace, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go ahead of me. Then when I started running, I would get ahead. Suddenly, my eyes fell on a man at my side, so I thought in my heart, "By the friend Abraham! The earth is folded up for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
