أبواب صلاة الجنازةChapters on Funeral Prayer
بَابُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ جَنَازَةً فَلَا يَجْلِسُ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ وَمَا جَاءَ فِي الْقِيَامِ لِلْجَنَازَةِ إِذَا مَرَّتْChapter on one who follows a funeral should not sit until it is placed, and what is reported regarding standing for the funeral when it passes
Hadith 3222
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذَئْبٍ عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَ مَرْوَانَ، فَمَرَّتْ جَنَازَةٌ فَمَرَّ بِهِ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ: قُمْ أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ! فَقَدْ عَلِمَ هَذَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً لَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى تُوَضَعَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting with Marwan when a funeral procession passed by. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) also passed by and said: O Amir! Stand up. (Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him) knows that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not sit when accompanying a funeral until it was placed on the ground.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From other chains of transmission of this hadith, it is evident that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id (radi Allahu anhuma), and Marwan all performed the funeral prayer (salat al-janazah) for this deceased person. In fact, Marwan even led the prayer as imam. After the funeral prayer, when Marwan sat down, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) also sat down with him. It is possible that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) did not consider standing (at that point) to be obligatory, or perhaps he acted out of consideration for expediency.
