أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فَقُمْنَا وَرَأَيْنَاهُ قَعَدَ فَقَعَدْنَا  

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah for a funeral, and when we reached the grave the Lahd had not yet been prepared. He sat, and we sat around him, as if there were birds on our heads."  

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَلَمْ يُلْحَدْ فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرَ
