حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ ، وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهَا حَتَّى تُوضَعَ فِي الْقَبْرِ فَقِيرَاطَانِ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَمَا الْقِيرَاطُ ؟ ، قَالَ : مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who offers prayer for the dead, for him is (the reward of) one 'qirat'; and he who follows the bier till it is placed in the grave, for him (is the reward of) two qirats. I (Abu Hazim, one of the narrators) said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , what is this 'qirat'? He said: It is like the hill of Uhud.
