Chapter on Instructing the Dying (Talqin al-Muhtadarin)

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً كُتِبَ لَهُ أَرْبَعُ قَرَارِيطَ قِيرَاطٌ بِاتِّبَاعِهِ إِيَّاهَا وَقِيرَاطٌ بِالصَّلاَةِ عَلَيْهَا وَقِيرَاطٌ بِالاِنْتِظَارِ حَتَّى يُفْرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِهَا وَ قِيرَاطٌ لِلتَّعْزِيَةِ».
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Al-Husayn ibn 'Alwan, from Sa'd ibn Tarif, from Al-Asbagh, who said: Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام said: "Whoever follows a funeral procession will have four qirats (units of reward) written for him - one qirat for following it, one qirat for performing the prayer over it, one qirat for waiting until the burial is completed, and one qirat for offering condolences."
