Eleven months after the Opening of Mecca, at the beginning of Rajab, the Angel Gabriel
appeared to the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) and informed him that As-hamah
son of Al-Abjar, Negus of Abyssinia who had embraced Islam had passed away. After
the obligatory prayer had been offered the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
informed the congregation of his passing saying, "A righteous man has died. Arise and
pray for your brother As-hamah." Thereupon, the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
led the congregation in the absent funeral prayer, and many reflected upon the Negus'
justice and kindness towards them not only after he became a Muslim but before when
4
they sought refuge in his country many years before.
