Sunan an-Nasai 1921 (Book 21, Hadith 104) #16532
Respect for All Souls

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of respecting all souls, regardless of their religion or background.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila said: "Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah were in Al-Qadisiyyah when a funeral passed by them, so they stood up and it was said to them: 'It is one of the local people'. They said: 'A funeral passed the Messenger of Allah and he stood up, and it was said to him: It Is a Jew. He said: 'Is it not a soul?"'
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَقَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِمَا بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ‏.‏ فَقَالاَ مُرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَهُودِيٌّ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلَيْسَتْ نَفْسًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of showing respect and reverence for all souls, regardless of their religion or background. It was narrated by 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila that Sahl bin Hunaif and Qais bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah were in Al-Qadisiyyah when a funeral passed by them. When they were told it was one of the local people, they stood up out of respect. Similarly, when the Prophet Muhammad saw a funeral procession pass by him and he was told it belonged to a Jew, he still stood up out of respect for the soul that had passed away. This teaches us that we should show respect to all souls no matter what their religious beliefs are or where they come from. We should remember that everyone is equal in death and we should treat each other with kindness while we are alive as well.
