حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مَنَّاحٍ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى جَنَازَةً مُقْبِلَةً فَلَمَّا رَآهَا قَامَ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَخَبَّرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 529
It was narrated from Aban bin 'Uthman that he saw a funeral coming. When he saw it he stood up and said: I saw 'Uthman doing that and he told me that he saw the Prophet (PBUH) doing that.
