حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ صَبِيحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمَّارٌ مَوْلَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ٍأَنَّهُ شَهِدَ جَنَازَةَ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ ، وَابْنِهَا ، فَجُعِلَ الْغُلَامُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْإِمَامَ ، فَأَنْكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ ، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ ، َوَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ ، وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالُوا : هَذِهِ السُّنَّةُ .
Yahya ibn Subayh said: Ammar client of al-Harith ibn Nawfal told me that he attended the funeral of Umm Kulthum, and her son. The body of the boy was placed near the imam. I objected to it. Among the people there were Ibn Abbas, Abu Saeed al-Khudri, Abu Qatadah and Abu Hurairah. They said: This is the sunnah (established practice of the Prophet).
Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
It is understood that the man should be placed towards the direction of the imam, and the woman should be placed after him.
Another important point that is understood is that the relations between the noble Ahl al-Bayt, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the other noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) were of utmost closeness and brotherhood.
Those people are greatly unjust who try to convince others of enmity and opposition among them.
