The virtue of the funeral prayer in the Grand Mosque for the worshipper falls under the general virtue of prayer therein and the multiplication of its reward. As for the deceased, a greater number of worshippers is better for him, and this place is a strong indicator of their abundance, in addition to the supplication for him therein. There is no other specific virtue mentioned.
