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?'"
