Superiority of accompanying funeral processions

وَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَقَدْ قَضَيْتَ الَّذِي عَلَيْكَ. وَقَالَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ إِذْنًا، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ صَلَّى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَلَهُ قِيرَاطٌ.And Zaid bin Thabit رضي الله عنه said, “If you have offered (the funeral prayer) then you have paid what was due on you.” Humaid bin Hilal said, “We do not think that it is necessary to take the permission of the relatives of the deceased to return from the funeral procession. But whoever returns after the funeral prayer will have a reward equal to one Qirat(it is a great reward).”
