[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Whoever prays upon a deceased person will receive a Qirat, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, 'What is a Qirat?' He replied, 'It is equivalent to the size of Uhud.'"  

أحمد:٤٨٦٧حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْبَرَّادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا الْقِيرَاطُ؟ قَالَ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ
