Is it sufficient to pray over the funeral in the mosque, or is it necessary to accompany it until its burial?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, may Allah bless you, about accompanying the funeral until its burial, or is it sufficient to only pray over it in the mosque?

Answer:
Both are permissible. Praying over it in the mosque carries one qirat of reward, and accompanying it after praying over it and attending its burial carries another qirat, and every qirat is like a great mountain. Yes.
