It is narrated from Ibn Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) were sitting at al-Qadisiyyah when a funeral passed by them, and they both stood up (out of respect for it). It was said to them that this was one of the local (non-Muslim) inhabitants of this land. The two of them replied: "A funeral passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. It was said to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that it was the funeral of a disbeliever, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Is it not a (human) soul?'" Imam Abu Ya'la (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I found it in my book as the narration of Ali bin al-Ja'd from Shu'bah, but it did not carry the mark of hearing (sama'), so I had doubts about the soundness of this chain."
