Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرٌ، عَنْ بُرْدٍ، أَخِي يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الأَجْرِ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنْ مَشَى مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ حَتَّى تُدْفَنَ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الأَجْرِ قِيرَاطَانِ وَالْقِيرَاطُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: ‘Abthar narrated to us, from Burd, the brother of Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad, from al-Musayyab ibn Rafi‘, who said: I heard al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever follows a funeral bier until the prayer is offered will receive one qirat of reward. Whoever accompanies it until it is buried will receive two qirats of reward. A qirat is like Mount Uhud.’

Translation notes
  • The source identifies Burd as the brother of Yazid ibn Abi Ziyad.
