حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا تَبِعْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا تَجْلِسُوا حَتَّى تُوضَعَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الثَّوْرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ فِيهِ:‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ بِالْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى تُوضَعَ فِي اللَّحْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُفْيَانُ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْفَظُ مِنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: When you follow a funeral, do not sit until the bier is placed (on the ground). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Thawri (i.e. Sufyan) from Suhail, from his father on the authority of Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ . This version has: until it (the bier) is placed on the ground. It has also been narrated by Abu Mu'wiyah from Suhail. This has: Until it is placed in the grave. Abu Dawud said: Sufyan's version is more guarded than that of Abu Muawiyah.
