Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ جَنَازَةً، مَرَّتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهَا جَنَازَةُ يَهُودِيٍّ . فَقَالَ " إِنَّمَا قُمْنَا لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ " .
Translation
Ishaq narrated to us, saying: Al-Nadr informed us, saying: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas: A funeral bier passed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he stood. Someone said: ‘It is the funeral of a Jew.’ He replied: ‘We stood only for the angels.’
