Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Saʿd were sitting in the city of Al-Qadisiya. A funeral procession passed in front of them and they stood up. They were told that funeral procession was of one of the inhabitants of the land i.e. of a non-believer, under the protection of Muslims. They said, "A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet ﷺ and he stood up. When he was told that it was the coffin of a Jew, he said, "Is it not a living being (soul)?"  

كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِمَا بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَىْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ فَقَالاَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهَا جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا وَقَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ قَيْسٍ وَسَهْلٍ ؓ فَقَالاَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ زَكَرِيَّاءُ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى كَانَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ وَقَيْسٌ يَقُومَانِ لِلْجِنَازَةِ  

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  

"Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah were in Al-Qadisiyyah when a funeral passed by them, so they stood up and it was said to them: 'It is one of the local people.' They said: 'A funeral passed the Messenger of Allah and he stood up, and it was said to him: It Is a Jew. He said: 'Is it not a soul?"'  

كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِمَا بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَقَالاَ مُرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Abi Layla say that Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Saad were sitting in Qadisiyyah when a funeral procession passed by them. They stood up, and it was said to them, "Is he from the people of the land or from the people of the treaty?" They replied, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up when a funeral procession passed by him." It was said to him, "It is the funeral of a Jew." He said, "Is it not a soul?"  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى يَقُولُ كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِمَا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ فَقَالَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺمَرَّتْ بِهِ جِنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهَا جِنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا
