Bayhaqi 6922 — The imam stands at the head of a man and at the hips

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، ثنا أَبُو غَالِبٍ، قَالَ: " شَهِدْتُ أَنَسًا وَصَلَّى عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ السَّرِيرِ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، فَقَامَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ وَسَطِ السَّرِيرِ وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ حَضَرَ جِنَازَتَهُ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى اخْتِلَافَ قِيَامِهِ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا ⦗٥٤⦘ حَمْزَةَ أَهَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُومُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالرَّجُلِ كَمَا قُمْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا يَعْنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ وَقَالَ: احْفَظُوا ".
Abu Ghalib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I went to Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). He prayed the funeral prayer over a man and stood by his head. Then the bier of a woman from Quraysh was brought, and he stood at about the middle of the bier and prayed over her. Among those attending the funeral was al-Ala' bin Ziyad al-Adawi (may Allah have mercy on him). When he saw the difference in where he stood, he said: "O Abu Hamzah! Is this how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand for a man and for a woman, just as you stood?" He said: "Yes!" Then al-Ala' (may Allah have mercy on him) turned to us and said: "Memorise this."
