nasai:2001Hārūn b. Isḥāq > Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar > ʿAmr b. Qays > al-Minhāl b. ʿAmr > Zādhān > al-Barāʾ

"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."  

النسائي:٢٠٠١أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ

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

We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the funeral of a man of the Ansar, but when we reached the grave, the niche in the side had not yet been made, so the Prophet ﷺ sat down facing the qiblah, and we sat down along with him.  

أبو داود:٣٢١٢حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

[Machine] "We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a funeral procession of a man from the Ansar. When we reached the grave and it was being prepared, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down and we sat around him as if birds were perched on our heads."
