1929 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ جَنَازَةً مَرَّتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ، فَقِيلَ: إِنَّهَا جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا قُمْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ»

Commentary
