1043. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up (for it). Whoever follows it, then do not sit down until it is put down." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Sa'eed on this topic is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishāq. They said the one following the funeral procession is not to sit down until the men put it down from their necks. It has been reported from some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, that they would go ahead of the funeral procession so that they could sit down before the funeral procession caught up to them. This is the view of Ash-Shāfi'i.

Commentary
Hāfīz Ibn Qayyim writes that the Prophet ﷺ used to stand up on seeing a
funeral and he ordered (his followers) as well to stand up on seeing a funeral, but after some time he kept on sitting when seeing a funeral and he would not stand up for it. Meaning that the order for standing up when seeing a funeral is abrogated.
