how prophet funeral prayer performed

Authentic answer: The Ṣaḥābah offered the Janāzah of Rasūlullāh ﷺ individually in groups (men → women → children) with no one acting as Imām. Detailed proof from Musnad Ahmad, Ibn Mājah & scholarly consensus. Four main reasons explained: (1) extreme reverence – no one dared stand in front as Imām, (2) to avoid any dispute over who would lead, (3) every Companion wanted personal barakah without an intermediary, (4) possible divine wisdom or instruction (weak narration). Complete refutation of misconceptions with references.
