Sunan an-Nasai 1977 (Book 21, Hadith 160) #16588
Following the Sunnah in Funeral Prayers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of following the Sunnah when it comes to funeral prayer for a boy and a woman.

It was narrated that 'Ammar said: "The Janazah of a boy and a woman were brought. The boy was placed closer to the people and the woman was placed beyond him, and the funeral prayer was offered for them. Among the people were Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, Ibn Abbas, Abu Qatadah and Abu Hurairah. I asked them about that and they said: '(It is) Sunnah"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ حَضَرَتْ جَنَازَةُ صَبِيٍّ وَامْرَأَةٍ فَقُدِّمَ الصَّبِيُّ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقَوْمَ وَوُضِعَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمَا وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا السُّنَّةُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how important it is to follow the sunnah when it comes to funeral prayers. It was narrated by 'Ammar that he saw two funerals being brought - one of a boy and one of a woman - and they were placed differently according to Islamic tradition. Among those present were Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, Ibn Abbas, Abu Qatadah and Abu Hurairah who confirmed that this was indeed part of the sunnah. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to follow Islamic traditions even in matters as small as funeral prayers because they are all part of our faith. We should also be mindful of our actions so as not to go against any teachings or traditions set forth by Islam.
