Bulugh al-Maram #678

Funerals

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

وَلِلْبُخَارِيِّ: { مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةَ مُسْلِمٍ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا, وَكَانَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَيُفْرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَرْجِعُ بِقِيرَاطَيْنِ, كُلُّ قِيرَاطٍ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ } 1‏ .‏‏1 ‏- صحيح.‏ رواه البخاري (47)‏ وتمامه: "ومن صلى عليها، ثم رجع قبل أن تدفن، فإنه يرجع بقيراط".‏
Al-Bukhari related on the authority of Abu Hurairah, “Whoever accompanies the funeral of a Muslim, seeking the reward only from Allah, the Almighty, and he stays with it until he offers the funeral prayer and the burial is completed, will return back with two Qirat, each Qirat is equal to the mount of Uhud.”
