Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that on the day Najashi passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of his death on that very day. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proceeded towards the place of funeral prayer or the Eid ground and led his funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged the rows of the Companions and pronounced four takbirs over him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Today, a righteous man from Abyssinia has passed away, so come and form rows." Thus, we formed rows and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and we offered the funeral prayer.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Today a righteous servant of Allah, Ashamah, has passed away, so stand up and offer his funeral prayer. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and led us in prayer and performed his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah bin Asid (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Offer the funeral prayer for your brother who has passed away in a foreign land." The companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is he?" He replied: "Sahmah Najashi." Thus, the companions stood up and offered his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Your brother Najashi has passed away, so come and offer his funeral prayer. Thus, we stood up and formed rows as we form rows for a deceased person, and offered the funeral prayer in the same manner as we offer the funeral prayer for a present deceased.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Your brother Najashi has passed away, pray for his forgiveness.
