[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ announced to them the death of Najashi, the king of Abyssinia, on the day he died. He said, "Pray for your brother." Ibn Shihab narrated that Ibn Al-Musayyib informed him that Abu Huraira told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ described them in the prayer hall, then he prayed for him and repeated the takbeer four times.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَى لَهُمُ النَّجَاشِيَّ صَاحِبَ الْحَبَشَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَفَّهُمْ فِي الْمُصَلَّى فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Today, a righteous man has passed away, so pray for As'hamah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَاتَ الْيَوْمَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ فَصَلُّوا عَلَى أَصْحَمَةَ  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ مَوْتُ النَّجَاشِيِّ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَى أَخٍ لَكُمْ مَاتَ بِغَيْرِ بِلَادِكُمْ قَالَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَفَّنَا صُفُوفًا قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَكُنْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ الثَّانِي أَوِ الثَّالِثِ قَالَ وَكَانَ اسْمُ النَّجَاشِيِّ أَصْحَمَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, your brother has passed away, so stand and pray upon him, meaning Al-Najashi."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَخَاكُمْ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي النَّجَاشِيَّ  

[Machine] About his father's story about the arrival of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib to the land of Habasha and his meeting with the Negus, and informing him about the situation of the Prophet Muhammad and what he said about Jesus, son of Mary, and his admiration for him. Then the Negus said, "Welcome to you, and to the one who sent you. I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah and that he is the one about whom Jesus, son of Mary, gave glad tidings. If I were not in the position of authority, I would have come to him and carried his sandals." Abdul Khaliq ibn Ali Al Mu'athen informed us, narrating from Abu Bakr ibn Khanb, who narrated from Al Hassan ibn Salam Al Sawwaaq, who narrated from Ubaidullah ibn Musa, who narrated from Isra'il, who narrated from Abu Ishaq, who narrated from Abu Burdah, who narrated from his father. And he mentioned the story, which includes the statement of the Negus, which I have narrated.  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي قِصَّةِ قُدُومِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَرْضَ الْحَبَشَةِ وَدُخُولِهِ عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ وَإِخْبَارِهِ إِيَّاهُ أَمْرَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَا يَقُولُ فِي عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَإِعْجَابِهِ بِهِ ثُمَّ قَوْلِهِ مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ وَبِمَنْ جِئْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَلَوْلَا مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْمِلَ نَعْلَيْهِ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَبْدُ الْخَالِقِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمُؤَذِّنُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَنْبٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ السَّوَّاقُ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى أنبأ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ وَفِيهَا قَوْلُ النَّجَاشِيِّ الَّذِي حَكَيتُهُ  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Tabuk, and the sun rose with a brightness, light, and radiance that I had never seen before in previous sunrises. Then Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Gabriel, why do I see the sun rising with a brightness, light, and radiance that I had never seen before in previous sunrises?" Gabriel replied, "That is because Mu'awiyah ibn Mu'awiyah al-Laythi died in Al-Madinah today, so Allah ﷻ sent seventy thousand angels to pray upon him." He said, "And in that, he used to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112) abundantly, both day and night, in his travels, during his standing and sitting. So, O Messenger of Allah, would you like me to gather the earth for you so you can pray upon him?" He said, "Yes," so he prayed upon him. Then Al-'Ala' said, "This is the son of Zaid, and it is also said the son of Zaidah." Anas ibn Malik did not relate this with such details, Abu Sa'ad al-Malini informed us, who informed us Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi, who reported from Al-Ala' ibn Zaid, who reported from Anas. Yazid ibn Harun, a weak narrator of Hadith, also narrated from him. The Shaykh said, "And this Hadith has been narrated from another chain of narrators as well, from Anas ibn Malik.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِتَبُوكَ فَطَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِضِيَاءٍ وَنُورٍ وَشُعَاعٍ لَمْ أَرَهَا طَلَعَتْ فِيمَا مَضَى فَأَتَى جَبْرَائِيلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَائِيلُ مَا لِي أَرَى الشَّمْسَ طَلَعَتْ بِضِيَاءٍ وَنُورٍ وَشُعَاعٍ لَمْ أَرَهَا طَلَعَتْ فِيمَا مَضَى فَقَالَ ذَاكَ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ اللَّيْثِيَّ مَاتَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْيَوْمَ فَبَعَثَ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَفِيمَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ قِرَاءَةَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} [الإخلاص 1] بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَفِي مَمْشَاهُ وَقِيَامِهِ وَقُعُودِهِ فَهَلْ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ أَقْبِضَ لَكَ الْأَرْضَ فَتُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الْعَلَاءُ هَذَا هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ زَيْدَلٍ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ بِمَنَاكِيرَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا الْجُنَيْدِيُّ ثنا الْبُخَارِيُّ قَالَ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَوَى عَنْهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ  

[Machine] "So Jibril (Gabriel) struck with his wing, leaving no tree or hillock untouched. He then lifted his bed so that he could see him and prayed upon him. Behind him were rows of angels, each row numbering seventy thousand angels. The Prophet ﷺ asked Jibril (Gabriel), 'O Jibril, how did he attain this status?' Jibril replied, 'By his love for him' (reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas). Abi Sa'd al-Malini narrated to us, who narrated to us Abu Ahmad ibn 'Adi al-Hafiz, who said that Mahbub bin Hilal al-Muzani narrated from 'Ata bin Abi Maymunah, who narrated from Anas, that Jibril (Gabriel) descended and it was not followed by any other descent. I heard Ibn Hummad mention it from al-Bukhari."
