Someone says that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had stood up in respect for the janaazah of a Jew.

Answer

No one is allowed to submit the Ahaadith to their whimsical opinions. The Shariah is clear in its ruling that it is not permissible for Muslims to participate in and attend the funeral and burial services of non-Muslims. Allah Ta'ala states in the Qur'aan Majeed:

"Do not perform any prayers over any one of them (kuffaar) who has died, nor stand at his (the non-Muslim's) grave. Verily, they have denied Allah and His Rasool and have died as faasiqoon."

Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not participate in the burial service of the Jew nor did he follow the janaazah. Standing up does not mean participation nor attending the burial service. Furthermore, there are other explanations for this narration. The ruling of the Shariah is that it is not permissible, and this is the final word which no man's opinion and fancy can abrogate. The Hadith of multifaceted interpretations does not cancel the explicit command of the aforementioned Qur'aanic aayat. Furthermore, the moron' understanding of the Hadiths is hilarious. He should concern himself with the masaa-il of Istinja, and not delve into a domain which in this era is taboo for even all the experts of Shar'i Uloom. The masaa-il of the Deen cannot be abrogated by anyone until the Day of Qiyaamah.
