6. Funerals
٦۔ كتاب الجنائز
“When you see a funeral (procession) stand up for it until it has passed by or it is placed on the ground.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ سَمِعَهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجِنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا لَهَا حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَكُمْ أَوْ تُوضَعَ
“A funeral has passed by the Prophet ﷺ and he stood up and said: ‘Stand up out of recognition of the enormity of death.’”
مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ وَقَالَ قُومُوا فَإِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ فَزَعًا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for a funeral, and we stood up, until he sat down, then we sat down.”
قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِجِنَازَةٍ فَقُمْنَا حَتَّى جَلَسَ فَجَلَسْنَا
“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed a funeral, he would not sit down until it had been placed in the niche-grave. A rabbi came to him and said: ‘This is what we do, O Muhammad!’ So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and said: ‘Be different from them.’”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اتَّبَعَ جِنَازَةً لَمْ يَقْعُدْ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ فِي اللَّحْدِ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ حَبْرٌ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا نَصْنَعُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ خَالِفُوهُمْ
