Hisham bin Abi 'Abdullah al-Dastawa'i هشام بن أبي عبد الله الدستوائي · The Book of Funerals

"The believer dies with sweat on his forehead."

"My father told me: I witnessed the funeral of 'Abdur-Rahamn bin Samurah. Ziyad came out, walking in front of the bier, and some men from the family of 'Abdur-Rahman and their freed slaves came out, facing the bier and walking backward, saying: 'Slow down, slow down, may Allah bless you.' And they were walking slowly. Then when they were partway to Al-Mrbad, Abu Bakrah joined us on his mule. When he saw what they were doing, he rushed to them…

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'When you see a funeral, stand up, and whoever follows it, let him not sit down until (the body) is placed (in the grave)."

"The Messenger of Allah was asked about he children of the idolators and he said: 'Allah knows best what they would have done."'
