Thauban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
He who offered prayer for the dead, for him is the reward of one qirat, and he who attended its burial, he would have two qirats as his reward. And qirat is equivalent to Uhud.
