Sunan an-Nasai 5032 (Book 47, Hadith 48) #19564
The Reward of Offering Funeral Prayers

SUMMARY: Following a Muslim's funeral procession and offering the funeral prayer for them will be rewarded with two Qirats, each of which is like Mount Uhud.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet SAW said: "Whoever follows the funeral procession of a Muslim out of faith and in the hope of reward, then offers the funeral prayer for him and waits until he is placed in his grave, then he will have two Qirats, each of which is like Mount Uhud. Whoever offers the funeral prayer for him then returns, he will have one Qirat".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُوسُفَ بْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اتَّبَعَ جَنَازَةَ مُسْلِمٍ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى يُوضَعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ كَانَ لَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ كَانَ لَهُ قِيرَاطٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the reward that one can receive by following a Muslim's funeral procession and offering the funeral prayer for them. It is narrated from Abu Hurairah that Prophet Muhammad said that whoever follows the funeral procession of a Muslim out of faith and in the hope of reward, then offers the funeral prayer for him and waits until he is placed in his grave, then he will have two Qirats. A qirat is an amount equal to one third of a mountain like Mount Uhud. If someone offers only the funeral prayer but does not wait until they are buried, they will still receive one qirat as their reward. This hadith teaches us to show respect to our fellow Muslims even after their death by attending their funerals and praying for them so we can receive Allah's blessings in return.
