حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَمْشِي أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَزِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى مَعْمَرٌ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَمَالِكٌ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَمْشِي أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَمْشِي أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ ‏.‏ وَأَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ كُلُّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ الْحَدِيثَ الْمُرْسَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ أَصَحُّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مُوسَى يَقُولُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدِيثُ الزُّهْرِيِّ فِي هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَأَرَى ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخَذَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ زِيَادٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ وَمَنْصُورٍ وَبَكْرٍ وَسُفْيَانَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ‏.‏ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ رَوَى عَنْهُ هَمَّامٌ ‏.‏ وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمَشْىِ أَمَامَ الْجَنَازَةِ فَرَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الْمَشْىَ أَمَامَهَا أَفْضَلُ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ ‏.‏
