حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مَنَّاحٍ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى جَنَازَةً مُقْبِلَةً فَلَمَّا رَآهَا قَامَ وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 495
It was narrated from Aban bin 'Uthman (RA) that he saw a funeral coming towards him. When he saw it, stood up and said: I saw 'Uthman (RA) do that and he told me that he saw the Prophet (PBUH) do that.
