Muhammad demonstrated how highly he respected people regardless of their faith in several occasions. It is narrated that he stood up showing respect for a funeral carrying a coffin of a Jewish man that passed him and his companions. Muhammad answered a companion who wondered why Muhammad stood up for the carried body:
“He is a human being” (regardless of his race, faith and social class).
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, 2/85, 1312. Sahih Muslim, 3/58, 961)
