It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, informed the Companions in Madinah Munawwarah of the death of Najashi. Then the Companions performed the funeral prayer behind the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, led the funeral prayer and said four takbirs during it.
