٣١٧٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا لَهَا، حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَكُمْ أَوْ تُوضَعَ»

Commentary
However, other Ahādīth have it that the Prophet ﷺ later commanded the people to sit and not stand on the occasion. It is on this basis that Shaikh Al-Albānī considers the earlier order to stand for the funeral as abrogated. Other scholars, however, consider both the options as permitted.
