It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Abu Laila that while Qais bin Sa'd and Sahl bin Hunaif were both in Qadislyya a bier passed by them and they both stood up. They were told that it was the bier of one of the people of the land (non-Muslim). They said that a bier passed before the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he stood up. He was told that he (the dead man) was a Jew. Upon this he remarked: Was he not a human being or did he not have a soul?
