It is narrated from Hazrat Yazid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was sitting with the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) in the gathering of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a funeral passed by. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up upon seeing it, and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) also stood up and remained standing until the funeral had passed. By Allah, I do not know how many people were troubled because of the funeral or because of the narrowness of the place, and I think that the funeral was of a Jewish man or woman, but we did not ask the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the reason for standing.
