Sunan an-Nasa'i 1916
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏
"‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْجَنَازَةَ فَقُومُوا حَتَّى تُخَلِّفَكُمْ أَوْ تُوضَعَ ‏"
It was narrated form 'Amir bin Rabi'ah Al-'Adawi that the Messenger of Allah said:

"When you see a funeral, stand up until it has passed you, or (the body) is placed (in the grave)."
