Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the Najashi, who embraced Islam and died during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), one of the Companions?
Answer:
No, because he did not see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, he is considered one of the Tabi'un. Yes. So whoever believed in him during his time (peace and blessings be upon him) but did not see him is one of the Tabi'un. Yes.
