[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever prays the funeral prayer for a deceased person will receive one Qirat (a unit of reward) and whoever follows the funeral procession until the deceased is placed in the grave will receive two Qirats." I asked Abu Huraira, "What is a Qirat?" He said, "It is equivalent to the size of a mountain called Uhud."

البيهقي:٦٧٤٩ – أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ وَبِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الصَّوَّافُ قَالَا ثنا يَحْيَى يَعْنِيَانِ ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهَا حَتَّى تُوضَعَ فِي الْقَبْرِ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَمَا الْقِيرَاطُ؟ قَالَ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَرَوَاهُ ثَوْبَانُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَعْنَى رِوَايَةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ
