It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jewish funeral passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is the funeral of a Jew." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because there is a distress of death."
