The Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘When a Heavenly person passes away, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ feels shy (befitting His status) in punishing those who carried the bier of that person and those who followed the funeral procession and those who offered his funeral Ṣalāĥ.’
(Al-Firdaus bimā Šaur-ul-Khaṭṭāb, vol. 1, pp. 282)
Šawāb of accompanying the funeral
Sayyidunā Dāwūd عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام humbly asked Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, ‘Yā Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! What is the Šawāb of accompanying the funeral merely for Your pleasure?’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ replied, ‘The day when he dies, the angels will accompany his funeral procession and I will forgive him.’
(Sharḥ-uṣ-Ṣudūr, pp. 97)
