Samurah bin Jundab narrated: "The Prophet prayed over a woman, so he stood at her middle."

Abdur-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik narrated that: Jabir bin Abdullah informed him that the Prophet had put two men together in one cloth from those who were killed at (the battle of) Uhud, then he said: "Which of them memorized the more of the Qur'an?" When one of them was indicated to him, he put him in the Lahd (first) and said: "I am a witness for those people on the Day of Judgment." And he ordered that they be buried in their blood, and that they not be prayed over, nor washed.

Ash-Shaibani narrated that: Ash-Sha'bi said: "I was informed by one who saw the Prophet: He (pbuh) saw a solitary grave, s he lined his Companions (behind him) to pray over it." It was said to him (Ash-Sha'bi): "Who informed you?" He said: "Ibn Abbas."

Sa'eedbin Musayyab narrated: "Umm Sa'd died while the Prophet was absent. So when he arrived he performed Salat over her, and a month had already passed."

Imran bin Husain narrated that: the Prophet said: "Indeed your brother An-Najashi has died. So stand to perform Salat for him." He (Imran) said: "We stood and lined up just as the deceased is lined up for, and we prayed for him just as the deceased is prayed for."

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirat. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirat, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uhud (mountain)." This was mentioned to Ibn Umar, so he sent a message to Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: "Abu Hurairah has told the truth." So Ibn Umar said: "We have missed many Qirat."

Abu Muhazzim said: "I accompanied Abu Hurairah for ten years, and I heard him saying: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: "Whoever follows a funeral, and carries it three times, then he has fulfilled the right that is required from him."

Amir bin Rabi'ah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up until it goes ahead of you or it is put down."

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up (for it). Whoever follows it, then do not sit down until it is put down."

It is narrated from Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, that when the matter of standing for the funeral until it is placed down was mentioned to him, Ali said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to stand, then he began to sit.

Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Ali is Hasan Sahih (good and authentic).
2- In it, there are four Tabi‘in narrating from each other.
3- Shafi‘i says: This is the most authentic narration in this chapter. This hadith abrogates the first hadith: "When you see a funeral, stand up."
4- In this chapter, hadiths have also come from Hasan bin Ali and Ibn Abbas.
5- Some people of knowledge act upon this.
6- Ahmad says: If one wishes, he may stand, and if he wishes, he may not stand. They have taken evidence from the fact that it is narrated about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he used to stand, then he began to sit. Similarly, this is also the saying of Ishaq bin Ibrahim bin Rahwayh.
7- The meaning of the statement of Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, (The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to stand for the funeral, then he began to sit) is that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he saw a funeral, he would stand, then later he refrained from this. When he saw a funeral, he would not stand.
