Commentary
The Messenger of Allah (saws) encouraged the believers to attend the burial of their believing brethren stating that one who follows the funeral and offers the prayer would get a reward as huge as a mountain….and if one follows the burial, offers the funeral prayer, and waits till the deceased is buried in the grave one would be entitled to earn a reward of two huge mountains

‏قال رسول الله ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏من شهد الجنازة حتى يصلي فله ‏ ‏قيراط ‏ ‏ومن شهد حتى تدفن كان له قيراطان قيل وما القيراطان قال مثل الجبلين العظيمين ‏.
