باب فَضْلِ الصَّلاَةِ عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ وَاتِّبَاعِهَا:
Chapter: The virtue of offering the funeral prayer and following the bier
Sahih Muslim 946 — The virtue of offering the funeral prayer
وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم ، قَالَ : " مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ ، فَإِنْ شَهِدَ دَفْنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ ، الْقِيرَاطُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ " ،
Thauban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who offered prayer for the dead, for him is the reward of one 'qirat', and he who attended its burial, he would have two 'qirats' as his reward. And 'qirat' is equivalent to Uhud.

وحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قال : وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ سَعِيدٍ ، وَهِشَامٍ : سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْقِيرَاطِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : " مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ " .
This hadith has been narrated by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters. And in the hadith transmitted by Sa'id and Hisham, (the words are):" The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about 'qirat', and he said: It is equivalent to Uhud."
