Abu Huraira[RA] says that he heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) say:" He who goes out with the bier when taken out from its residence and offers prayer for it and he then follows it till it is buried, he would have two qirats of reward, each qirat being equivalent to Uhud; and he who, after having offered prayer, (directly) came back would have his reward (as great) as Uhud" [Muslim]
