أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَخَاکُمْ النَّجَاشِيَّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ فَصَفَّ بِنَا کَمَا يُصَفُّ عَلَی الْجَنَازَةِ وَصَلَّی عَلَيْهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1976
It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Your brother An-Najashi has died, so get up and offer the funeral prayer for him.” He stood up and put us in rows as is done for the funeral prayer, and we prayed for him. (Sahih)
