أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَهُشَيْمٍ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِنَّا لَنَكَادُ نَرْمُلُ بِهَا رَمَلاً . وَاللَّفْظُ حَدِيثُ هُشَيْمٍ .
Abu Bakra Narrated from:
I remember when we were with the Messenger of Allah, and we were walking fast with it (the Janazah). This is the wording of Hushaim.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 1913
This short hadith about walking quickly with the Janazah comes from Abu Bakrah. He said that he remembered when they were with the Messenger of Allah, and they were walking fast with it, meaning the Janazah. The wording is brief, but it supports the theme found in nearby reports about not making the funeral procession too slow. The main search phrase is walking fast with Janazah hadith. The hadith does not describe the deceased person, the place, or a long event in this wording. It simply preserves Abu Bakrah’s memory of how they moved with the funeral while they were with the Prophet.
What we learn from this hadith
- Abu Bakrah remembered walking fast with the Janazah in the Prophet’s presence.
- The narration supports a faster pace for the funeral procession.
- The wording is brief, so the lesson should stay limited to the stated action.
