عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏

مَنْ شَهِدَ الْجَنَازَةَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ، وَمَنْ شَهِدَ حَتَّى تُدْفَنَ كَانَ لَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ ‏”‏‏.‏ قِيلَ وَمَا الْقِيرَاطَانِ قَالَ ‏”‏ مِثْلُ الْجَبَلَيْنِ الْعَظِيمَيْنِ

رواه البخاري ١٣٢٥

Narrated Abu Huraira:
that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said,

Whoever attends the funeral procession till he offers the funeral prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever accompanies it till burial, will get a reward equal to two Qirats.” It was asked, “What are two Qirats?” He replied, “Like two huge mountains.”

Sahih Bukhari, 1325
