The reason the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for al-Najashi: the prayer for the absent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for al-Najashi as a prayer for the absent one because he did not pray for him in his own land?
Answer:
This has been said, but it contradicts the apparent meaning. What makes us know that he was not prayed for in his land? Perhaps there were no Muslims there, or perhaps there was one or more. Allah knows best.
