The question

Is it mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever attends a funeral until the prayer is offered, he will have one Qirat. And whoever attends until it is buried, he will have two Qirats." It was asked: "And what are the two Qirats?" He said: "Like two great mountains"? Or is the Hadith conveyed in meaning? And if it is verbatim, what is the source of this narration?
