Abu Hurayra (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “There are six things due from the believer to another believer: visiting him when he is ill, attending to his funeral when he dies, accepting his invitation when he invites, giving him a greeting when he meets him, praying for blessing to be upon him when he sneezes, and treating him sincerely when he is absent and when he is present.” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Adab, 1; al-Nasaʾi, al-Janaʾiz, 52)
According to Abu Hurayra’s (ra) narration, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Whoever attends the funeral procession until they perform the ritual funeral prayer for it will get a reward equal to one qirāṭ, and whoever accompanies the deceased until burial, will get a reward equal to two qirāṭs.” It was asked, “What are two qiraṭs like?” He replied, “Like two huge mountains.” (al-Bukhari, al-Janaʾiz, 58; Muslim, al-Janaʾiz, 52)
Abu Hurayra (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) said, “When you pray over the dead, make a sincere supplication for him.” (Abu Da’ud, al-Janaʾiz, 54, 56)
ʿAwf b. Malik (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw) said a prayer on the dead body, and I remembered his prayer: “O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy upon him, give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honor and make his grave spacious; wash him with water, snow and hail. Cleanse him from faults as You would cleanse a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate. Admit him to the Garden, and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.” (Muslim, al-Janaʾiz, 86)
