Hadith 19941

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ أَخَاكُمْ النَّجَاشِيَّ قَدْ مَاتَ ، فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ " , قَالَ : فَصَفَفْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Today your brother Najashi has passed away, so perform his funeral prayer." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and we formed rows behind him, then he led the funeral prayer for him as is usually done.
