[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Abi Layla say that Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Saad were sitting in Qadisiyyah when a funeral procession passed by them. They stood up, and it was said to them, "Is he from the people of the land or from the people of the treaty?" They replied, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up when a funeral procession passed by him." It was said to him, "It is the funeral of a Jew." He said, "Is it not a soul?"

bukhari:1312 – Ādam > Shuʿbah > ʿAmr b. Murrah > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Laylá > Kān

Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Saʿd were sitting in the city of Al-Qadisiya. A funeral procession passed in front of them and they stood up. They were told that funeral procession was of one of the inhabitants of the land i.e. of a non-believer, under the protection of Muslims. They said, "A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet ﷺ and he stood up. When he was told that it was the coffin of a Jew, he said, "Is it not a living being (soul)?"
