11. Funerals
١١۔ كتاب الجنائز
Whenever you see a funeral procession, stand up for that until it moves away or is lowered on the ground.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا لَهَا حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَكُمْ أَوْ تُوضَعَ
Should any one of you come across a funeral procession, and if he does not intend to accompany it, he must stand up until it passes by him or is placed upon the ground before it passes him.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَاشِيًا مَعَهَا فَلْيَقُمْ حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَهُ أَوْ تُوضَعَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُخَلِّفَهُ
Should anyone amongst you see a bier he must stand up so long as it is within sight in case he does not intend to follow it.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَلْيَقُمْ حِينَ يَرَاهَا حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَهُ إِذَا كَانَ غَيْرَ مُتَّبِعِهَا
When you follow a bier, do not sit until it is placed on the (ground).
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اتَّبَعْتُمْ جَنَازَةً فَلاَ تَجْلِسُوا حَتَّى تُوضَعَ
Whenever you come across a bier you should stand up, and he who follows it should not sit down till it is placed on the ground.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا فَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا فَلاَ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ
There passed a bier and the Prophet ﷺ stood up for it and we also stood up along with him. We said: Messenger of Allah, that was the bier of a Jewess. Upon this he remarked: Verily, death is a matter of consternation, so whenever you come across a bier stand up.
مَرَّتْ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا يَهُودِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ فَزَعٌ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا
Ibn Juraij told me that Abu Zubair heard Jabir say that the Prophet ﷺ kept standing for a bier until it disappeared.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِجَنَازَةٍ مَرَّتْ بِهِ حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ
Again Abu Zubair heard Jabir say that the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions kept standing for a bier of a Jew until it disappeared from sight.
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ لِجَنَازَةِ يَهُودِيٍّ حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ
Was he not a human being or did he not have a soul? And in the hadith narrated by 'Amr b. Murra with the same chain of transmitters, (the words) are:" There passed a bier before us."
أَنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ وَسَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ كَانَا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِمَا جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَقَالاَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِيهِ فَقَالاَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَرَّتْ عَلَيْنَا جَنَازَةٌ
