أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ ‏: ‏ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي جَنَازَةٍ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَلَمْ يُلْحَدْ، فَجَلَسَ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا الطَّيْرَ ‏.‏

Translation

Harun ibn Ishaq informed us, saying: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Qays, from al-Minhal ibn ‘Amr, from Zadhan, from al-Bara’, who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for a funeral. When we reached the grave, before the burial niche had been dug, he sat down, and we sat around him as though birds were perched on our heads.
