Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 960b

This brief hadith about a funeral procession reports that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) stood for a bier that passed by him and remained standing until it disappeared. The narration comes through Abu Zubair, who heard Jabir say this. The wording is short, so the explanation should also stay close to it. The key idea is standing for the funeral bier until it is no longer in sight. It links with search terms such as standing for funeral procession hadith, bier disappeared from sight hadith, and Janazah passing by hadith. The text does not mention who the deceased was in this wording, so the focus remains on the Prophet’s action of standing.

What we learn from this hadith

  • The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) stood for a bier that passed by him.
  • He remained standing until the bier disappeared.
  • The narration focuses on the action of standing for the funeral procession.
