565 صحيح حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ، فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِمَا بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا، فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، أَيْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الذمَّةِ؛ فَقَالاَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهَا جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ، فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrates that Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunaif and Sayyiduna Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with them) were sitting at a place in Qadisiyyah when some people passed by carrying a funeral procession. Both of these elders stood up. It was said to them that the funeral was of a Dhimmi (non-Muslim under Muslim protection). Upon this, they said that a funeral had similarly passed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he stood up for it. Then it was said to him that it was the funeral of a Jew. He replied, "Is it not a soul?"
