حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
" نَعَى النَّجَاشِيَّ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ ، وَخَرَجَ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَصَفَّ بِهِمْ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day when Najashi (the King of Abyssinia) passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed the people of his death on that very day, went out to the prayer place, formed rows, and performed the funeral prayer, saying four takbirs.
