It is narrated on the authority of Waqid: Nafi' bin Jubair saw me and we were standing for a bier, while he was sitting and waiting for the bier to be placed on the ground. He said to me: What makes you keep standing? I said: I am waiting that the bier may be placed on the ground (and I am doing that) on the hadith narrated to me by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. Upon this Nafi' said: Verily, Mas'ud bin Hakam reported to me on the authority of Hadrat 'Ali bin Abu Talib that the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up first (for a bier) and then sat down.

Mas'ud bin al-Hakam al-Ansari informed Nafi' that he had heard Hadrat 'Ali (RA) , son of Abu Talib, say about the biers: Verily, the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to stand first but later on kept sitting; but it is also narrated that Nafi' ibn Jubair saw Waqid bin 'Amr standing for a bier till it was placed down.
