أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اتَّبَعَ جَنَازَةَ مُسْلِمٍ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا فَصَلَّی عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّی يُوضَعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ کَانَ لَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّی عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ کَانَ لَهُ قِيرَاطٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5047
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said:“Whoever follows the funeral procession of a Muslim out of faith and in the hope of reward, then offers the funeral prayer for him and waits until he is placed in his grave, then he will have two Qirats, each of which is like Mount Uhud. Whoever offers the funeral prayer for him then returns, he will have one Qirat.” (Suhih)
