Sahih al-Bukhari 1309 (Book 23, Hadith 67) #1259
Sitting Before a Funeral Procession

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Abu Huraira and Marwan sitting down before the coffin was put down, which was against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

Narrated Sa'id Al-Maqburi: That his father said, "While we were accompanying a funeral procession, Abu Huraira got hold of the hand of Marwan and they sat down before the coffin was put down. Then Abu Sa'id came and took hold of Marwan's hand and said, "Get up. By Allah, no doubt this (ie Abu Huraira) knows that the Prophet forbade us to do that". Abu Huraira said, "He (Abu Sa'id) has spoken the truth".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ بِيَدِ مَرْوَانَ فَجَلَسَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تُوضَعَ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمَ هَذَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ نَهَانَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَدَقَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting those who have passed away. It tells us that we should not sit before a funeral procession has been put down. This is because Prophet Muhammad taught us to show respect for those who have passed away by not sitting in front of them while they are being carried in a procession. We should also remember that it is important to follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and abide by his instructions even if we do not understand why he has given them. We must always strive to be respectful and honourable in our actions, especially when it comes to showing respect for those who have passed away.
