It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever offers the funeral prayer for someone will receive a reward equal to one qirat, and whoever waits until the burial is completed will receive a reward equal to two qirats. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked for clarification about the two qirats, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Equal to two great mountains.
