Al-Kafi 4537

Translation

Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Bin Imran Al Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Zurara who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’far^asws, and in his^asws presence was a man from the Ansaar, and a coffin passed by. So the Ansary stood up and Abu Ja’far^asws did not stand up. So I remained seated along with him^asws, and the Ansary did not remain standing until they had passed with it. Then he sat down. So Abu Ja’far^asws said to him: ‘What made you stand up?’ He said, ‘I saw Al Husayn Bin Ali^asws do that (before)’. So Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘By Allah^azwj! Neither did Al Husayn^asws stand up for it nor did anyone else from us^asws, the People^asws of the Household, at all’. So the Ansaary said, ‘You^asws have placed me in doubt, may Allah^azwj Keep you^asws well. I thought, I had seen him^asws do so’.
