Muhammad ibn Rumh narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sa‘d informed us, from Nafi‘, from Ibn Umar, from Amir ibn Rabi‘ah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, from Amir ibn Rabi‘ah, who heard the Prophet say: ‘When you see a funeral procession, stand for it until it passes you or is set down.’
