Attending Funerals for Reward

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that those who attend a funeral and offer the funeral prayer will receive a reward from Allah.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever follows the funeral procession and offers the funeral prayer for it, will get a reward equal to one Qirat, and whoever attends it till burial, will get a reward equal to two Qirat'.' It was asked, "What are two Qirat?'' He replied, "Equal to two huge mountains". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
