Book 16, Hadith 13
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُتْبَعَ، بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ بِنَارٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى سَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi that Abu Hurayra forbade anyone to follow him with a burning torch after his death. Yahya said, "I heard Malik disapprove of that."
