"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

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.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَلَمْ يُلْحَدْ بَعْدُ فَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَجَلَسْنَا مَعَهُ
“We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a funeral, and we came to a grave. He sat down and we sat down, as if there were birds on our heads.”
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرَ
[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a funeral procession and we found the grave, and when it was dug, he sat down and we sat down.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَوَجَدْنَا الْقَبْرَ وَلَمَّا يُلْحَدْ فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا
[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." The narration mentioned the authenticity of this hadith, which is documented in the Book of Faith, and that it was not omitted.
«خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَلَمَّا يُلْحَدْ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرُ» وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَدْ ثَبَتَ صِحَّةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي كِتَابِ الْإِيمَانِ وَأَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ
"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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2001)
«خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي جِنَازَةٍ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَلَمَّا يُلْحَدْ فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرَ»
