Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنَّ جَنَازَةً، مَرَّتْ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَامَ الْحَسَنُ وَلَمْ يَقُمِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِجَنَازَةِ يَهُودِيٍّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Muhammad, that a funeral bier passed by al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali and Ibn ‘Abbas. Al-Hasan stood, but Ibn ‘Abbas did not. Al-Hasan said: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) not stand for the funeral of a Jew?’ Ibn ‘Abbas replied: ‘Yes; then he sat down.’

Translation notes
  • The final pronoun in ‘then he sat down’ is left as in the Arabic wording.
