Jami at-Tirmidhi 1034 (Book 10, Hadith 70) #26601
Funeral Prayers According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Anas bin Malik and Abu Ghalib performing funeral prayers for a man and a woman, respectively. Al-Ala bin Ziyad asked Abu Ghalib if he saw the Prophet (PBUH) standing in the same way for funerals.

Abu Ghalib narrated: "I prayed for the funeral of a man with Anas bin Malik, so he stood parallel to his head. Then they came with the body of a woman from the Quraish. They said: 'O Abu Hamzah perform the prayer for her'. So he stood parallel to her waist. Al-Ala bin Ziyad said to him: 'Is this how you saw the Messenger of Allah standing in the place for the funeral as you did for her, and for a place that you stood for the man?' He said: 'Yes'. When he was finished he said: 'Remember (this)'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَلَى جَنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ حِيَالَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءُوا بِجَنَازَةِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهَا ‏.‏ فَقَامَ حِيَالَ وَسَطِ السَّرِيرِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّبِيَّ قَامَ عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ مُقَامَكَ مِنْهَا وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ مُقَامَكَ مِنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ احْفَظُوا ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَقَدْ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا ‏.‏ وَرَوَى وَكِيعٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ فَوَهِمَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَنْ غَالِبٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏.‏ وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ مِثْلَ رِوَايَةِ هَمَّامٍ ‏.‏ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي اسْمِ أَبِي غَالِبٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُقَالُ اسْمُهُ نَافِعٌ وَيُقَالُ رَافِعٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَى هَذَا وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to perform funeral prayers according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). It was narrated by Abu Ghalib that he prayed for the funeral of a man with Anas bin Malik, who stood parallel to his head. When they came with the body of a woman from Quraish, they asked Abu Hamzah to perform her prayer as well. He stood parallel to her waist instead of her head like he did for the man's prayer. Al-Ala bin Ziyad then asked him if this was how he saw the Messenger of Allah standing in place for funerals as well, and he confirmed it was true.
