أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرٌ عَنْ بُرْدٍ أَخِي يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَائَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً حَتَّی يُصَلَّی عَلَيْهَا کَانَ لَهُ مِنْ الْأَجْرِ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنْ مَشَی مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ حَتَّی تُدْفَنَ کَانَ لَهُ مِنْ الْأَجْرِ قِيرَاطَانِ وَالْقِيرَاطُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1946
It was narrated that Al-Musayyab bin Rafi’ said: “I heard Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib say: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘whoever follows a Janazah until the prayer is offered, he will have one Qirat of reward and whoever walks with the funeral until (the body) is buried will have two Qirats of reward, and a Qirat is like Uhud.” (Sahih)
