الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ مَيْسَرَةَ. عَنْ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَا:
خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَفِيهِ: وَمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى مَيِّتٍ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ وَمَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ، وَغُفِرَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ، وَإِنْ أَقَامَ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَحَثَى عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ انْقَلَبَ وَلَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ قِيرَاطٌ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ، وَالْقِيرَاطُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ، وَمَنْ حَفَرَ قَبْرًا لِمُسْلِمٍ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى النَّارِ، وَبَوَّأَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ، لَوْ وُضِعَ مَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ، وَالْحَبَشَةِ لَوَسِعَهُمْ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us a sermon... and he mentioned the hadith, in which there is: 'Whoever prays over a deceased, Jibril (peace and blessings be upon him) prays over him, and with him are seventy thousand angels, and his past sins are forgiven. If he remains until he is buried and casts dust upon him, he returns with a qirat of reward for every step until he returns to his home, and the qirat is like Uhud. Whoever digs a grave for a Muslim, Allah Almighty forbids him from the Fire and grants him a house in Paradise which, if placed between Sana'a and Abyssinia, would contain them.'
