It was narrated that Abu Ma'mar said: We were with 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) when a funeral passed by him and some people stood up for it'.Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Who told you to do this? They said: Abu Moosa, He said: The Messenger of Allah only did that once, following the example of the People of the Book, but when he was forbidden to do it, he stopped.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَمَرَّ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ لَهَا نَاسٌ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أَفْتَاكُمْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا أَبُو مُوسَى قَالَ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَرَّةً فَكَانَ يَتَشَبَّهُ بِأَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَلَمَّا نُهِيَ انْتَهَى‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about how the Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to stand up when a funeral passed by him as an example set by the People of the Book. However, when he was forbidden from doing so he stopped and did not continue this practice. This teaches us that we should always follow what is commanded by Allah and His Messenger PBUH and not follow any other examples or practices that are not approved by them. We should also be careful to only do what is allowed in Islam and avoid anything that has been prohibited or made haram. Furthermore, this hadith also shows us how important it is to respect those who have passed away and remember them with kindness even if we cannot physically stand up for their funerals.
