Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2667 — when the Negus (al-Najashi) died

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ : نَا أَبِي قَالَ : نَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ : نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ : لَمَّا مَاتَ النَّجَاشِيُّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ : يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ وَقَدْ مَاتَ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ : وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَمَا أُنْـزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ
. لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ إِلَّا مُؤَمَّلٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Negus (al-Najashi) died, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seek forgiveness for your brother." At this some people said: "He is ordering us to seek forgiveness for him, although he died in the land of Abyssinia?" So this verse was revealed: "And indeed, among the People of the Book are some who believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to you."
No one narrated this hadith from Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) except Mu'ammal (may Allah have mercy on him).
