Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ مَرَّتْ بِنَا جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيَّةٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ فَزَعًا فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ اللَّفْظُ لِخَالِدٍ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us, saying: Isma‘il narrated to us, from Hisham. (Another route:) Isma‘il ibn Mas‘ud narrated to us, saying: Khalid narrated to us, saying: Hisham narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Miqsam, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, who said: A funeral passed by us, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood. We stood with him. I said: ‘Messenger of Allah, it is the funeral of a Jewish woman.’ He said: ‘Death is terrifying, so when you see a funeral bier, stand.’ This is Khalid’s wording.
