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 الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ " اسْتَغْفِرُوا لأَخِيكُمْ " .
Translation
Abu Dawud narrated to us: Ya‘qub narrated to us: My father narrated to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Salamah and Ibn al-Musayyab told me that Abu Hurayrah informed them that the Messenger of Allah announced to them the death of the Negus of Abyssinia on the very day he died, and said: ‘Ask forgiveness for your brother.’
