Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I went out to attend a funeral and stood waiting for it to be placed on the ground so that I could then sit down. Nafi' bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) was near me. When the bier was placed down, I sat beside him, and he asked: "Were you waiting for this bier to be placed down so that you could sit?" I said: "Yes, because of a hadith that reached me from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then he said: "Mas'ud (may Allah have mercy on him) told me that he heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for a funeral, then after that he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down and commanded us to sit as well.'"
