وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمَرِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ فَإِنْ شَهِدَ دَفْنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ الْقِيرَاطُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ‏"‏ .

বাংলা অনুবাদ
মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু বাশশার (রহঃ) ..... রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর গোলাম সাওবান (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি জানাযার সালাত আদায় করে তাকে এক কীরাত সাওয়াব দান করা হয়। আর সে যদি দাফন কার্যেও শারীক থাকে, তবে দু' কীরাত সাওয়াব লাভ করবে। এক কীরাত্ব উহুদ সমতুল্য। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২০৬৪, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)
