Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، مَرَّتْ بِهِمَا جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَقَعَدَ الآخَرُ فَقَالَ الَّذِي قَامَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ قَامَ قَالَ لَهُ الَّذِي جَلَسَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ جَلَسَ ‏.‏

Translation

Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Ulayyah, from Sulayman al-Taymi, from Abu Mijlaz, from Ibn ‘Abbas and al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali: A funeral bier passed by the two of them. One stood, and the other sat. The one who stood said: ‘By Allah, I know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood.’ The one who sat replied: ‘I know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat.’

Translation notes
  • The source does not specify which of Ibn ‘Abbas and al-Hasan stood or sat; it refers only to ‘the one who stood’ and ‘the one who sat.’
