Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim said that al-Qasim used to walk in front of the funeral bier and would sit before it was set down, and he would not stand for it. He used to report from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that she used to say: In the time of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance), people used to stand for it when they saw it, and would say: "You are no longer among your family, you are no longer among your family."
