Hadith 23842

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ حُنَيْفٍ ، وَقَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ ، كَانَا قَاعِدَيْنِ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمَرُّوا بِجِنَازَةٍ ، فَقَامَا ، فَقِيلَ : إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ ! فَقَالَا : إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ ! فَقَالَ : " أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا " .
Hazrat Sahl bin Hunaif (may Allah be pleased with him) and Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) were once sitting in Qadisiyyah. Meanwhile, some people passed by carrying a funeral bier. Both of them stood up. Someone said that the deceased was from the residents of this area. They replied that once some people passed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a funeral bier, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. Someone said that the deceased was a Jew. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Was he not a human being?”
