[2189] 52 - (945) Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever attends a funeral until the prayer is offered will have one Qirât (of reward), and whoever attends until (the body) is buried will have two Qirât.'" It was said: "What are the two Qirâts?" He said: "Like two huge mountains." The end of the Hadûth of Abû Aṭ-Ṭâhir. The other two added: Ibn Shihâb said: "Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said: 'Ibn 'Umar used to offer the funeral prayer and then leave.'

Arabic text

52 - (945) وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِهَارُونَ، وَحَرْمَلَةَ، قَالَ هَارُونُ: حَدَّثَنَا، وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ - أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ هُرْمُزَ الْأَعْرَجُ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ شَهِدَ الْجَنَازَةَ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ، وَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا حَتَّى تُدْفَنَ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ»، قِيلَ: وَمَا الْقِيرَاطَانِ؟ قَالَ: «مِثْلُ الْجَبَلَيْنِ الْعَظِيمَيْنِ» انْتَهَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي الطَّاهِرِ، وَزَادَ الْآخَرَانِ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: قَالَ سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ: وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: «لَقَدْ ضَيَّعْنَا قَرَارِيطَ كَثِيرَةً»
