The Story of al-Najashi and Who Prayed Over Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Allah sent to you those who said that no one was found to pray over the story of al-Najashi.
The Shaykh:
There is no evidence for this, as al-Naqib (may Allah have mercy on him) said, and it is far-fetched, because he was a great king who embraced Islam, and no one from his subjects embraced Islam. This is one of the most far-fetched things, or it is said to be impossible.
The questioner:
The company transfers.
The Shaykh:
Yes. The dress of the Christians, but it is well known that the prevailing and certain custom is that when kings embrace Islam, some of their close associates follow them.
The questioner:
Al-Najashi, the follower from the generation of the Tabi'un.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Ordinary, and not in need? The Tabi'un, a mixed one, because what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, the great ones of the Tabi'un, mixed ones, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
