I offered the funeral prayer behind the Prophet ﷺ for a woman who had died during childbirth and he stood up by the middle of the coffin.  

البخاري:١٣٣٢حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سَمُرَةُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ ؓ قَالَ

صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا وَسَطَهَا
