50 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَخْبَرَةَ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ: كَانُوا عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِمْ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامُوا لَهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا أَمَرَ أَبُو مُوسَي الْأَشْعَرِيُّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: " إِنَّمَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَمْ يَعُدْ
Abdullah bin Sakhbara Azdi narrates: Some people were present with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). A funeral passed by them, so the people stood up for it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is this practice? The people replied: Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) commands this. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up once for this (funeral). He (peace be upon him) did not do this act again.
