The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَ قَدْ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ رِدَاءَهُ فِي جِنَازَةِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ أَرْدِيَتَهَا فَوَضَعْتُ رِدَائِي.
"The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم placed his cloak down during the funeral of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him). When asked about this, He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "I saw the angels had placed their cloaks down, so I placed mine as well."
