Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 4645 — when the news of the death of the Negus
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ الدِّمْيَاطِيُّ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو أَسْلَمَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ الرُّعَيْنِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفَاةُ النَّجَاشِيِّ قَالَ : اخْرُجُوا ، فَصَلُّوا عَلَى أَخٍ لَكُمْ لَمْ تَرَوْهُ قَطُّ ، فَخَرَجْنَا ، وَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَصَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ ، فَصَلَّى وَصَلَّيْنَا ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا قَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا ، خَرَجَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى عِلْجٍ نَصْرَانِيٍّ لَمْ يَرَهُ قَطُّ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ : وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَمَا أُنْـزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَا أُنْـزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَاشِعِينَ لِلهِ لا يَشْتَرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the news of the death of the Negus (al-Najashi) reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go out and offer the funeral prayer for a brother of yours whom you have never seen." So we went out; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stepped forward and we formed rows behind him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer and we prayed too. When we had finished, the hypocrites began to say: "Look at this man! He has come out to offer the funeral prayer over a Christian unbeliever whom he never even saw." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And indeed, among the People of the Book are those who believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to you and what has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before Allah; they do not sell the verses of Allah for a small price" to the end of the verse.
