Musnad Ahmad 9551

Translation

✧ Whoever follows the funeral procession of a Muslim, out of faith and seeking reward, and prays over it and stays until it is buried, returns with two qirats of reward, each qirat like Uhud. And whoever prays over it and returns before it is buried, he returns with one qirat.
