03 / Caring for one another
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whoever follows a funeral and offers the funeral prayer then leaves, will have one Qirat reward. And whoever follows it and offers the funeral prayer then stays until the burial is completed will have two Qirat of reward, both of which are greater than Uhud.”
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet ﷺ asked who had fasted, followed a funeral procession, fed someone in need and visited the sick that day. Abu Bakr had done all four. The Prophet ﷺ then said:
“Anyone in whom (these good deeds) are combined will certainly enter paradise.”
