Uyaynah ibn Abdur Rahman reported on the authority of his father that he attended the funeral of Uthman ibn Abul As. He said: We were walking slowly. Abu Bakrah then joined us and he raised his flog at us and said: You have seen us when we were with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . We were walking quickly.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Walk quickly with a funeral, for if the dead person was good it is a good condition to which you are sending him on, but it he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are riding yourselves.
