Abdullah bin Ka'b narrates from his father: Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He informed him that his mother had passed away, who was a Christian, and he wished to participate in his mother's last rites. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mount your ride and walk ahead of the funeral; if you are walking ahead of it, you will not be counted as being with it." (Imam Daraqutni, may Allah have mercy on him, states) This narration is not established; one of its narrators, Ma'shar, is weak.
