Sunan Ibn Majah 1490 (Book 6, Hadith 58) #30842
Funeral Prayers Guarantee Paradise

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if a funeral procession is small, it should be organized into three rows and the funeral prayer will be offered. If three rows of Muslims offer the funeral prayer for one who has died, they will be guaranteed Paradise.

Malik bin Hubairah Ash-Shami, who was a Companion of the Prophet , said: "If a funeral procession was brought and the number of people who followed it was considered to be small, they would be organized into three rows, then the funeral prayer would be offered". He said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'No three rows of Muslims offer the funeral prayer for one who has died, but he will be guaranteed (Paradise).’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ الشَّامِيِّ، - وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ - قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَتَقَالَّ مَنْ تَبِعَهَا جَزَّأَهُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ صُفُوفٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا صَفَّ صُفُوفٌ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ إِلاَّ أَوْجَبَ
