It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the death of Najashi, although he himself was in Madinah Munawwarah. Accordingly, the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) formed rows behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer and said four takbirs in it.
