Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)
21/57. Chapter:
Where Should The Imam Stand In Relation To The Deceased When Offering The Funeral Prayer ?
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ وَرَاءَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَاتَتْ فِي نِفَاسِهَا فَقَامَ عَلَيْهَا لِلصَّلاَةِ وَسَطَهَا .
Narrated Samurah bin Jundab: I prayed behing the Prophet (ﷺ) over a woman who died in childbirth, and he stood opposite her waist.
