The full reward for one who witnesses the funeral prayer and the burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! It was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: “Whoever prays over a funeral gets one qirat, and whoever attends it until it is buried gets two qirats,It is said: What is a qirat?He said: Like Mount Uhud) But the question is: some people attend the funeral and leave before the burial is completed. Do they receive the reward?
The apparent meaning of the hadith: “Whoever witnessed it until the prayer was performed over it” This man accompanied it from its home; because the deceased is a deceased person; a funeral is a funeral from the moment of death,And his statement: “Whoever witnessed it until the prayer was performed over it” indicates that there is a limit, and that the person honored this deceased by walking with him from the house to the mosque, and then to the cemetery,But one might say: The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever witnessed it until the prayer was performed over it” includes the one who waited in the mosque until it arrived and the prayer was performed over it, and we hope for good from Allah.
As for leaving before the burial is completed, he does not obtain the reward;As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever witnessed it until it is buried” And if he leaves before the burial is completed, he has not witnessed it until it is buried, so this reward is not recorded for him.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the two qirats?He said: “Like the two great mountains” And in a narration I think is in Muslim, he said: “The smaller of them is like Mount Uhud” .
