Hadith #211
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ أَنَا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنْ اتَّبَعَهَا حَتَّى يُفْرَغَ مِنْ شَأْنِهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ أَصْغَرُهُمَا أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan [whom Ahmad himself asked about this chain], from Sumayy, from Abu Salih — from the Prophet ﷺ: 'Whoever prays over a funeral [janaza] earns one qirat [of reward]. And whoever follows it [the procession] until the matter is completed [until burial] earns two qirats — the smaller of the two — or one of them — is like Mount Uhud [in size/weight].'
