حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَعَى النَّجَاشِيَّ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ، خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَصَفَّ بِهِمْ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the death of An-Najashi, a leader of Abyssinia. When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard about his death, he went to a praying place with many people following him in rows. He then offered four Takbirs which are part of a funeral prayer for someone who has passed away. This hadith teaches us that we should respect those who have passed away and offer prayers for them as it is an act of kindness and mercy towards them. It also shows us how important it is to follow the teachings of our beloved prophet ﷺ as he was an example to all Muslims on how to behave in difficult situations such as this one.
