EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of praying for those who have passed away. It is narrated by Hudhaifah bin Asid that the Prophet led them in prayer and asked them to pray for their brother Najashi who had died in another land. This shows us that even though we may not know someone personally, we should still remember them and pray for their soul. It is also important to note that this act of remembrance can be done regardless of distance or location; it does not matter if someone has passed away far away from us, we can still remember them and ask Allah to grant mercy upon their soul.

This hadith also teaches us about the importance of brotherhood and unity among Muslims; even though they did not know Najashi personally, they were still asked to pray for him as if he was one of their own brothers. This emphasizes how important it is to show love and care towards our fellow Muslims regardless of whether or not we know them personally.
