I saw the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and Umar walking in front of the funeral procession.
حدثنا قتيبة وأحمد بن منيع وإسحق بن منصور ومحمود بن غيلان قالوا حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة عن الزهري
رأيت النبي ﷺ وأبا بكر وعمر يمشون أمام الجنازة
[Hasan] Abu Dawud transmitted it in the Book of Funerals, Chapter on Walking in Front of the Funeral, no. 3179, as did Ibn Majah, no. 1482, and Nasai, 4/56, no. 1946, from the hadith of Ibn Uyayna through this route. Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (al-Ihsan), no. 3036, and it has hasan corroborating narrations, see the hadith that follows.
