Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ مِنَ الأَجْرِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى يُفْرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ مِنَ الأَجْرِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Hasan ibn Qaza‘ah informed us, saying: Maslamah ibn ‘Alqamah narrated to us, saying: Dawud informed us, from ‘Amir, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever follows a funeral, prays over it, and then leaves earns one qirat of reward. Whoever follows it, prays over it, and then remains until its burial is completed earns two qirats of reward, each of which is greater than Mount Uhud.’
