Question:

Assalaamu Alaikum,

If there is any Hadith as follows, A sahabi when he was going out of town he instructed his wife that he had stock & kept all needy things in the house and not to leave out till he returned. While he was out the wife hear her father's death news when she clarifies with the Prophet (s.a.w) about her situation Prophet (s.a.w) told to obey her husband's orders and better not to leave the house. So she avoided her father's funeral. Prophet (s.a.w) himself went to her father's funeral, led the prayer, and while burying, Prophet (s.a.w) said he will be in heaven for his daughter's deeds.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
