حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جِنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنْ شَهِدَ دَفْنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ " . قَالَ: فَسُئِلَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنِ الْقِيرَاطِ؟ فَقَالَ " مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ " .

Humayd ibn Mas‘adah narrated to us; Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us; Sa‘id narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: Salim ibn Abi al-Ja‘d narrated to me, from Ma‘dan ibn Abi Talhah, from Thawban, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Whoever performs the funeral prayer receives one qirat, and whoever attends the burial receives two qirats.’ The Prophet was asked about the qirat, and he said, ‘Like Uhud.’
