اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا كَانَا قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، فَمَرَّا بِجَنَازَةٍ، فَقَامَا، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَا: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: ((أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا؟))
Ibn Abi Layla narrates: Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunaif and Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them both) were sitting at the place of Qadisiyyah when people passed by carrying a funeral bier. Both of them stood up. Someone said to them: "He was from among the dhimmi people." They replied: "People passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a funeral bier, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for it. Someone said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): 'He was a Jew.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Is it not a soul?'"
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of this hadith is the same as that of the previous ahadith, that is, the deceased is also a human soul, and our standing is to remind us of the hardship of death.
