Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الْجِنَازَةِ وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ يَمْشُونَ أَمَامَهَا.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us, who said: I read to Ibn Jurayj; Ziyad ibn Sa'd told me: that Ibn Shihab said: Salim told me, from Abdullah ibn Umar: that he used to walk in front of the funeral bier, and indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, may Allah be pleased with them, used to walk ahead of it.
