حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَی بْنَ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ مَسْعُودَ بْنَ الْحَکَمِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُا فِي شَأْنِ الْجَنَائِزِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ وَإِنَّمَا حَدَّثَ بِذَلِکَ لِأَنَّ نَافِعَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ رَأَی وَاقِدَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو قَامَ حَتَّی وُضِعَتْ الْجَنَازَةُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2228
It is narrated on the authority of Waqid: Nafi' b. Jubair saw me and we were standing for a bier, while he was sitting and waiting for the bier to be placed on the ground. He said to me: What makes you keep standing? I said: I am waiting that the bier may be placed on the ground (and I am doing that) on the hadith narrated to me by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. Upon this Nafi' said: Verily, Mas'ud b. Hakam reported to me on the authority of Hadrat 'Ali b. Abu Talib that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up first (for a bier) and then sat down.
