It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! When the funeral of a disbeliever passes by us, should we stand up for it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! Stand up for it, for indeed you do not stand for it (the deceased), but rather you stand in reverence of the One who seizes the souls."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral passed by the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for it until it disappeared from sight. Abu Zubair also narrated to me that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions stood up for the funeral of a Jew until it disappeared from sight.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A funeral passed by us, and upon seeing it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we stood up. I said: O Messenger of Allah! This is the funeral of a Jew. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, death is a distressing event, so whenever you see a funeral, stand up.

(Second Chain) Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when a funeral passed by us. Upon seeing it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and we also started to walk to carry it. But suddenly it became known that it was the funeral of a Jewish woman. When we informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that it was the funeral of a Jewish woman, he said: Indeed, there is panic in death, so you should stand up when you see a funeral.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says that a funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Stand up, indeed death has a distress.

(Second chain) A Jewish funeral procession passed by the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He stood up. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! This is a Jewish funeral. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Indeed, there is a dread in death.

Ibn Abi Layla narrates: Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunaif and Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them both) were sitting at the place of Qadisiyyah when people passed by carrying a funeral bier. Both of them stood up. Someone said to them: "He was from among the dhimmi people." They replied: "People passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a funeral bier, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for it. Someone said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): 'He was a Jew.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Is it not a soul?'"

Sayyiduna Yazid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he said: I was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was present among his companions, when suddenly a funeral appeared. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions quickly stood up and remained standing until it had passed. By Allah! I could not ascertain whether he stood up due to the discomfort of its (odor) or because of the narrowness of the place, while I think that the funeral was of a Jewish man or woman. In any case, we did not ask the reason for your (peace and blessings be upon him) standing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a funeral passes by you, whether it is of a Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian, you should stand upon seeing it. We do not stand for it, but rather for the angels who come with it. Laith says: When I narrated this hadith to Mujahid, he said: Abdullah bin Sanjarah Azdi narrated to me, saying: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) waiting for a funeral, when another funeral passed by us. We stood upon seeing it, but Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Why did you stand? We said: O companions of Muhammad! We are acting upon the hadith you narrated to us. He asked: Which hadith is that? I said that Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) believes that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a funeral passes by you, whether it is of a Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian, you should stand upon seeing it. We do not stand for it, but rather for the angels who come with it. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this act only once with a Jew, and the reason was that these people were People of the Book, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to show agreement with them. When he was forbidden (by Allah), he stopped, and after that, he did not do this act again.

Abu Muammar says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when a funeral procession passed by, and the people stood up upon seeing it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Who gave you the fatwa to stand up? The people said that Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) did. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this act only once, and the reason was that he (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to adopt conformity with the People of the Book. But when (from Allah) he (peace and blessings be upon him) was forbidden, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped.
