The Prophet’s Standing for the Funeral of a Jew and the Argument Derived from It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some journalists and newspaper writers argue that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) standing for the funeral of a Jew is evidence that Islam is a religion of love and a religion of mercy. He asks: Is there evidence for what they mentioned?

Answer:
This is an addition on his part. The Prophet stood for it and said
Is it not a soul?أليست نفسا؟
When they said it was the funeral of a Jew, he said
Is it not a soul?أليست نفسا؟
So he stood for it because it was just a soul.
