Al-Walid bin Abd al-Rahman al-Jurashi narrates from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he passed by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was narrating from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever follows a funeral will have one qirat, and if he also attends its burial he will have two qirats, and one qirat is greater than (the mountain of) Uhud." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "O Abu Hurayrah! Be careful what you narrate from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) got up and, taking Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) with him, went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said to her: "O Mother of the Believers! I ask you by Allah: did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever follows a funeral and prays the funeral prayer over it will have one qirat, and if he attends its burial he will have two qirats'?" She replied: "By Allah, yes (I heard it)." At this Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Neither planting (orchards) nor trading in the markets kept us busy away from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (and from acquiring hadith); rather, I was always seeking from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a word that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would teach me or a morsel that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would feed me." Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "O Abu Hurayrah! You were the one of us who kept closest company with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and who knew his hadith best." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
