وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي خُصَيْفٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ:

بَعَثَ النَّجَاشِيُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفْدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقُرْآنَ، فَأَقَرُّوا وَأَسْلَمُوا، وَفِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: الشَّاهِدِينَ ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَأَسْلَمَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَلَغَتْهُ وَفَاتُهُ، فَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُصَلَّى عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ

✧ The Negus sent to the Prophet ﷺ a delegation of his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the Quran to them, and they affirmed and embraced Islam. About them this verse was revealed: 'You will surely find the most intense of people in animosity toward those who believe are the Jews and those who associate others with Allah' up to His saying: 'the witnesses.' Then they returned to the Negus, and he embraced Islam. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ learned of his death, and they prayed over him as one prays over a deceased person.
