جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1040
Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirat. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirat, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uhud (mountain). This was mentioned to Ibn Umar, so he sent a message to Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: Abu Hurairah has told the truth. So Ibn Umar said: We have missed many Qirat.
