حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ نَعَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ النَّجَاشِيَّ، ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَصَفُّوا خَلْفَهُ فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) informed his companions about the death of An-Najashi and then he went ahead (to lead the prayer) and the people lined up behind him in rows and he said four Takbir.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর সাহাবীগণকে নাজাশীর মৃত্যু খবর শোনালেন, পরে তিনি সম্মুখে অগ্রসর হলেন এবং সাহাবীগণ তাঁর পিছনে কাতারবন্দী হলে তিনি চার তাকবীরে [1] (জানাযার সালাত) আদায় করলেন। (১২৪৫)

ہم سے مسدد نے بیان کیا ‘ انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے یزید بن زریع نے بیان کیا ‘ انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے معمر نے ‘ ان سے زہری نے ‘ ان سے سعید نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنے اصحاب کو نجاشی کی وفات کی خبر سنائی ‘ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم آگے بڑھ گئے اور لوگوں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پیچھے صفیں بنا لیں ‘ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے چار مرتبہ تکبیر کہی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yazid bin Zurai'] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Az Zuhriy] dari [Sa'id] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata,: Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam mengumumkan kematian An-Najasyi, kemudian Beliau maju dan membuat barisan shaf di belakang, Beliau lalu takbir empat kali

Ebu Hureyre r.a. şöyle demiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem ashabına Necaşî'nin vefat haberini verdi. Sonra (cenaze namazı kıldırmak için) öne geçti, ashabı arkasında saf yaptılar. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem dört tekbir aldı

What it means

The Negus, king of Abyssinia, did the Muslim emigrants a generous favor. When Quraysh in Makkah oppressed Muslims, they sought refuge in Abyssinia before there was a Muslim community in Madīnah. There in Abyssinia, the Negus received them well and treated them with hospitality. His sincere intention and lack of arrogance led him to accept the truth and convert to Islam.

He died in his country without seeing the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Because of his favors to Muslims, his high esteem, and dying in a land where no Muslim prayers were said over him, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed his Companions of his death and took them out to the prayer place to say prayers on him.

By this, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) declared that the Negus had converted to Islam and also paid him tribute for his position and generosity. The Prophet's prayer with the Muslim congregation would be an intercession with Allah, the Almighty, in favor of the Negus.
