Sunan an-Nasai 1996 (Book 21, Hadith 179) #16607
Attending Funerals for Reward

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that those who attend a funeral and offer the prayer for the deceased will be rewarded.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever follows the funeral of a Muslim man, seeking reward, and offers the prayer and buries him, will have two Qirats. And whoever offers the funeral prayer then goes back before the burial, then he returns with one Qirat of reward".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ احْتِسَابًا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَدَفَنَهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُدْفَنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَرْجِعُ بِقِيرَاطٍ مِنَ الأَجْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Abu Hurairah teaches us about the importance of attending funerals and offering prayers for the deceased. It is narrated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that whoever follows a Muslim man's funeral, seeking reward, and offers prayer before burying him will receive two Qirats as reward. A Qirat is an immense amount of reward from Allah SWT. Furthermore, if someone offers the funeral prayer then goes back before burial but returns to bury him, he will still receive one Qirat as reward. This hadith encourages us to attend funerals and offer prayers for our fellow Muslims in order to gain rewards from Allah SWT in return.
