Musnad Ahmad 631 (Book 5, Hadith 68) #34294
Standing for Funerals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to stand up when a funeral passes by and then sit down again.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: We saw the Messenger of Allah standing so we stood, then we saw him remain seated so we remained seated (ie, when a funeral passed by).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَامَ فَقُمْنَا وَقَعَدَ فَقَعَدْنَا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Stand up when a funeral procession passes by out of respect for the deceased and their family

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of showing respect to those who have passed away. When a funeral procession passes by, it is important to stand up out of respect for the deceased and their family. After the procession has passed, we should sit back down again. This shows that we are honoring the deceased and their loved ones in a respectful way. It also teaches us that even though someone has died, they still deserve our respect and honor as if they were still alive.

The Prophet Muhammad was an example of how we should behave in such situations, as he himself stood up when a funeral passed by and then sat back down afterwards. We can learn from his example how to show proper respect for those who have passed away in our own lives.
