Musnad Ahmad 1094 (Book 5, Hadith 511) #34737
Standing Up for Funerals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) set an example of standing up for funerals and then sitting down afterwards.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah stood up for funerals, so we stood up; then he sat down, so we sat down.
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِلْجَنَازَةِ فَقُمْنَا ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَجَلَسْنَا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Showing respect to those who have passed away by standing up in their presence

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Ali ibn Abi Talib states that the Prophet Muhammad stood up when a funeral procession passed by, and so did his companions. This is an example of showing respect to the deceased, as it is a sign of respect to stand up in their presence. After the procession had passed, the Prophet sat down again and so did his companions. This teaches us that we should show respect to those who have passed away by standing up in their presence, but also not overdo it as we should sit back down after they have gone past us.

This hadith also teaches us about respecting our elders and those who have gone before us; even if we do not know them personally, we can still show them respect through our actions such as standing up when they pass by or speaking kindly about them even after they are gone. It is important to remember that everyone deserves respect regardless of whether or not they are alive or dead; this hadith serves as a reminder of this fact.
