Sunan an-Nasai 1997 (Book 21, Hadith 180) #16608
The Reward for Funeral Prayers

SUMMARY: Following a funeral and offering the funeral prayer will be rewarded with one or two Qirat of reward, which is greater than Uhud.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever follows a funeral and offers the funeral prayer then leaves, will have one Qirat reward. And whoever follows it and offers the funeral prayer then stays until the burial is completed will have two Qirat of reward, both of which are greater than Uhud".
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَةً فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ مِنَ الأَجْرِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَعَدَ حَتَّى يُفْرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ مِنَ الأَجْرِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of attending funerals and offering prayers for the deceased. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad said that whoever follows a funeral and offers the funeral prayer then leaves will have one Qirat reward. A qirat is an amount of reward from Allah which is greater than Mount Uhud. Furthermore, if someone follows a funeral and offers the prayer then stays until burial is completed they will receive two qirats of rewards both of which are even greater than Mount Uhud. This hadith teaches us to show respect to those who have passed away by attending their funerals and praying for them so we can receive great rewards from Allah in return.
