3174. Jābir said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a funeral passed by us and he stood up for it. When we went to carry it, we realized that it was the Janāzah of a Jew. We said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, it is the Janāzah of a Jew.' He said: 'Death is something that is dreadful, so when you see a funeral, stand up.'" (Sahīh)
3174 - حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ مَرَّتْ بِنَا جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ لَهَا، فَلَمَّا ذَهَبْنَا لِنَحْمِلَ إِذَا هِيَ جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ؟ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ فَزَعٌ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ جَنَازَةً فَقُومُوا»

This Hadīth mentions the Prophet's ﷺ command to stand up. The next Hadīth, however, is explicit on the fact that later on the Prophet ﷺ had started to remain sitting, which indicates the earlier ruling was abrogated, and the reason thereof.
