‘Uyainah’s father, ‘Abdur Rahman bin Joshan, says: I went out with the funeral of ‘Abdur Rahman bin Samurah and saw that some members of his household were walking ahead of the funeral backwards, saying: (People!) May Allah bless you, walk calmly. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) met us from the direction of the Mirbad road. When he saw these people doing this, he drove his mule towards them and waved his stick at them and said: Move away. By the One Who honored the face of Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him)! I saw people with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in this matter, and it was almost that we would start running.
