It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you follow a funeral, do not sit down until it has been placed (on the ground)." Suhayl (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw my father Abu Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) not sitting down until the bier had been taken down from the men's shoulders and placed on the ground.
