1534. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Najāshī has died.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his Companions went out to Al-Baqī', and we lined up in rows behind him, and the Messenger of Allāh went forward, then he said four Takbir.'" (Sahih)
1534 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّجَاشِيَّ قَدْ مَاتَ» فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَصَفَّنَا خَلْفَهُ، وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ

Najāshī, may Allāh have mercy on him, was a king of Abyssinia, his name was As-hamah. (Sahih Al-Bukhārī: 3879) Hāfiz Ibn Hajar quoted 8th H or 9th H. as the year of Najāshī's death and he said, According to the majority of the scholars he died in the 9th H'. [Fathul-Bārī: 7/240, Hadīth: 3877] It is known from this Hadīth that offering funeral prayer for a person who dies afar (the dead body is not present at the time of funeral) is legal. The method of funeral prayer for an absent body is the same as when the body is present.
