Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11902 — Reports on where to stand when a man

Habib bin Abi Thabit said: Sa'id bin Jubayr came to the people of Makkah, and they used to pray the funeral prayer over a man and a woman placing them level (their heads and their legs). Sa'id bin Jubayr told them to place the woman's head at the middle of the man.
