Is the hadith (Whoever prays the funeral prayer in the mosque, he gets nothing) authentic?

The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the hadith: , or the hadith ?

The Shaykh : He gets nothing.

The questioner : What is its ruling and its authenticity?

The Shaykh : Its ruling is authentic with this wording. The intent of the hadith is to refute what may have become fixed in some people's minds, namely that the ruling for the funeral prayer in the mosque is like the ruling for the five daily prayers. It is well known that the five daily prayers are multiplied and in another narration . The funeral prayer differs from the obligatory prayers, so it is permissible to establish it and pray it in the mosque, but it does not have that virtue. In fact, the virtue is the opposite: that one prays for the deceased outside the mosque. If he prays for him in the mosque, it is permissible, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did so at times, but it does not have that virtue which is fixed in the minds of Muslims regarding the performance of the obligatory prayer in the mosque. Do you understand? So this negation is to dispel this misconception. Is that clear?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Welcome.
