Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the people of virtue. He used to say: "In three kinds of situations, if I were to remain in the state I am in then, I would be one of the people of Paradise, and I have no doubt about it: first, when I am reciting the Qur'an, or when I am listening to the recitation of the Qur'an; and when I am listening to the sermon of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); and when I attend a funeral, I think only about what will now happen to him and to what state he will go."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and Ahmad recorded something similar, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy. A hadith about his virtue has already passed at the end of the virtues of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him).

Yahya bin Bukayr narrates: Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) died in 20 AH, and his kunyah was Abu Yahya. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) carried his bier on his shoulder from between the poles of his cot, and kept doing so until his cot was placed at al-Baqi', and it was Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) himself who led his funeral prayer.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and he recorded part of it from al-Waqidi; the chains of both are munqati' (broken).
