Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا مَرَّتْ بِكَ جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ أَوْ مُسْلِمٍ فَقُومُوا لَهَا فَلَسْتُمْ لَهَا تَقُومُونَ إِنَّمَا تَقُومُونَ لِمَنْ مَعهَا من الْمَلَائِكَة» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد

Translation

Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘When the funeral of a Jew, a Christian, or a Muslim passes by you, stand for it. You are not standing for it, but for the angels who accompany it.’ Ahmad transmitted it.
