Dr. Craig Considine says:
Here is one of my favourite stories about Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). It is noted in a hadith that he and several of his companions were sitting down along a street in Medina. Suddenly, a companion spotted a funeral procession approaching the group. In respect of the dead human body, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) stood up as the procession crossed in front of him. At that moment, a companion, who was still sitting down, said to the Prophet, This is a funeral of a Jew. He is not a Muslim. Upon hearing these words, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) became upset and said back to the companion, Is he not a human soul? The message here is clear: Prophet Muhammad respected human beings irrespective of their religion. He taught mankind that every human soul is important, whether alive or dead. This is Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Him) concept of dignity. He defended humanity.
