Abdul-Rahman reported,

I witnessed the funeral of Abdul Rahman bin Samura. Ziyad came out walking in front of the bier, and some men from Abdul Rahman's family and their freed slaves began to face the bier and walk backwards on their heels, saying, "Slowly, slowly, may Allah bless you." They were creeping along at a crawl.When we reached part of the road of Mirbad, Abu Bakra caught up with us on a mule. When he saw what they were doing, he charged at them with his mule and lashed out at them with his whip, saying, "Move aside! By the One who honored the face of Abu Qasim ﷺ, I saw us with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we would almost be jogging with the bier."So the people picked up the pace.

عن عيينة بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبيه قال

شهدت جنازة عبد الرحمن بن سمرة، وخرج زياد يمشي بين يدي السرير، فجعل رجال من أهل عبد الرحمن ومواليهم يستقبلون السرير، ويمشون على أعقابهم ويقولون رويدا رويدا بارك الله فيكم فكانوا يدبون دبيبا حتى إذا كنا في بعض طريق المربد لحقنا أبو بكرة على بغلة، فلما رأى الذي يصنعون حمل عليهم ببغلته، وأهوى إليهم بالسوط وقال: خلوا فوالذي أكرم وجه أبي القاسم الله ﷺ رأيتنا مع رسول الله ﷺ وإنا لنكاد نرمل بها رملا فانبسط القوم.
