Tirmidhi Book 10, Hadith 1040
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ، وَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى دَفْنُهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا، أَوْ أَصْغَرُهُمَا مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ . فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَتْ: صَدَقَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: لَقَدْ فَرَّطْنَا فِي قَرَارِيطَ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَفِي الْبَاب: عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَثَوْبَانَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ.
Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirat. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirat, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uhud (mountain). This was mentioned to Ibn Umar, so he sent a message to Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: Abu Hurairah has told the truth. So Ibn Umar said: We have missed many Qirat.

"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
