Question:
The questioner asks: Is the reward in the funeral prayer based on the number of funerals or the number of prayers?

Answer:
The favor of Allah is vast. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays over a funeral
will have one Qirat reward. And whoever follows itفله قيراط من الاجر ومن تبعها
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1997Sahih (Darussalam)
until it is buried, he will have two qirats. It was asked: What are the two qirats, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Like two great mountains. In another narration, the qirat is like Mount Uhud. This is a great reward, and if Allah wills, you will receive this reward for every funeral."
