It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever offers the funeral prayer for someone and accompanies the funeral, he will receive a reward equal to two qirats, as great as Mount Uhud. And whoever only offers the funeral prayer but does not accompany the funeral, he will receive a reward equal to one qirat, as great as Mount Uhud.
