Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Safwan ibn Isa narrated to us, from Bishr ibn Rafi', from Abdullah ibn Sulayman ibn Junadah ibn Abi Umayyah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ubadah ibn al-Samit, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) accompanied a funeral procession, he would not sit until the deceased had been placed in the burial niche. A rabbi encountered him and said, 'This is what we do, Muhammad.' The Messenger of Allah sat and said, 'Do differently from them.' Abu Isa said: This is a gharīb hadith. Bishr ibn Rafi' is not strong in hadith.
