EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of offering prayers for those who have passed away. It was narrated by 'Imran b. Husain and Zubair that Allah's Messenger said, "A brother of yours has died; so stand up and offer prayer for him, i.e., Negus." The Prophet was referring to a man named Negus who had passed away and encouraging his followers to offer supplications on his behalf as a way to honor him after death. By doing this, we can show our love and respect for those who have gone before us even if we did not know them personally in life. Additionally, it teaches us that death is an inevitable part of life which should be accepted with grace and dignity rather than fear or sadness.
