Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Aun narrates that I asked Hazrat Sha’bi about standing for the funeral before it is placed (for burial), but it seemed as if he had no knowledge about it (he was not aware of it at all). Then I mentioned this to Hazrat Mujahid; he said: This is when the funeral prayer has been offered, so one should not sit before the burial.
