Virtues of following the funeral of a Muslim



Virtues of following the funeral of a Muslim 

مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى دَفْنُهَا فَلَهُ قِيرَاطَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ أَصْغَرُهُمَا مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever performs the funeral prayer then he will get a reward equal to a Qirat. Whoever follows it until it is buried then he will get a reward equal to two Qirat, one of them, or the least of them, is similar to Uhud (mountain)." This was mentioned to Ibn Umar, so he sent a message to Aishah to ask her about that, and she said: "Abu Hurairah has told the truth." So Ibn Umar said: "We have missed many Qirat."

[Jami’a al tirmidhi , Arabic : Book 10, Hadith 1057, Eng : Vol. 2, Book 5, Hadith 1040]

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whenever you see a funeral procession (Muslim or Non Muslim), stand up until it goes ahead of you or it is put down
