Waqid bin Amr says that I was present at a funeral of someone from Banu Salamah. When I saw the funeral, I stood up. Nafi’ bin Jubair said to me,“Sit down, I will tell you something strong regarding this matter. Mas’ud bin Hakam told me that he heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the courtyard of the Kufa mosque saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order us to stand upon seeing a funeral, but later he himself started sitting and ordered us to sit as well.”
