Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُمَا ‏:‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَعَى لَهُمُ النَّجَاشِيَّ صَاحِبَ الْحَبَشَةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ ‏: ‏ ‏"‏ اسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَخِيكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Dawud informed us, saying: Ya‘qub narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Salamah and Ibn al-Musayyab related to me that Abu Hurayrah informed them: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) announced to them the death of the Negus, ruler of Abyssinia, on the day he died, and said, ‘Seek forgiveness for your brother.’
