Hadith 1925

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ جَنَازَةً مَرَّتْ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَامَ الْحَسَنُ وَلَمْ يَقُمِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ , فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ : " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجَنَازَةِ يَهُودِيٍّ , قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : نَعَمْ , ثُمَّ جَلَسَ " .
´It was narrated from Muhammad that:` a funeral passed by Al-Hasan bin 'Ali and Ibn 'Abbas. Al-Hasan stood up but Ibn 'Abbas did not/ Al-Hasan said: 'Didn't the Messenger of Allah stand up for the funeral of a Jew?' Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Yes, then he sat down."'

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1925. Commentary: The meaning of the statement of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma is that this is exactly what happened thereafter—whenever a funeral procession passed by, he remained seated and did not stand up, as if to indicate that remaining seated is also permissible.
