1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from Yahya ibn ‘Imran al-Halabiy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once I was with of abu Ja‘far (a.s.), when a man from Ansar was also there. A funeral procession passed by and the Ansariy man stood up; but abu Ja’far (a.s.), did not do so, and I remained sitting with him. The Ansariy remained standing until the procession passed by and then he sat down. The Imam asked, ’What made you stand up?’ He replied, ‘I saw al-Husayn ibn Ali do as I did.’ Abu Ja’far (a.s.), said, ’By Allah, al-Husayn did not do so and no one from us (Ahl al-Bayt) has ever done so.’ The Ansariy then said, ‘What you just said has placed me in doubt. I thought I had seen him (al-Husayn) doing so.’”

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Najran from Muthanna al-Hannat who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.), was sitting when (people with) the dead body passed by. People stood up when the dead body appeared. Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.), said, ‘Once, (people with) the dead body of a Jewish person passed by; the Messenger of Allah was sitting on (the side of) way. He did not like the dead body of Jewish person higher over his head and to avoid this he stood up.”
