Those who disliked standing at the grave until burial

Abu Qilabah said: By Allah! The people's standing at the grave after the funeral prayer has been offered, until the burial, is an innovation (bid'ah).

Ibn Awn said: I asked al-Sha'bi about standing for the funeral until it is placed in the lahd (what is its ruling?). He said: I have not seen anyone do that except Abu Marhum, who was a Syrian, and people used to laugh at him.

Mughirah said that Ibrahim used to dislike standing at the grave.

Ibn Awn said: Standing for the funeral until it is placed was mentioned to al-Sha'bi, and it was as if he had no knowledge of it at all (he did not know of it).

He (Ibn Awn) said: Then I mentioned that to Mujahid, and he said: That is only when the prayer has been offered over it; then one does not sit until it is placed (in the grave).
