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.
