well, I wouldn’t have thrown you in the sea.’ So, `Amr consequently hated him.<br />
Afterwards, when they both could not secure the Muhaajireen from al-Najaashee,<br />
`Umaarah had developed a relationship with some of the female family members of al-<br />
Najaashee. So `Amr betrayed him and disclosed this to al-Najaashee. So, al-Najaashee<br />
summoned him and had a spell cast on him, because of which he became insane and<br />
wandered off into the desert with the wild beasts.<br />
<strong>Al</strong>-Umawee reported a long story in which he mentioned that `Umaarah lived on till the<br />
time of the Caliphate of `Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭaab .رضيُاهللُعنه And <strong>Al</strong>laah knows best.<br />
Ibn Is-ḥaaq reported from his chain that Umm al-Mu’mineen, `Aaishah ,رضيُاهللُعنها said:<br />
“When al-Najaashee died, we were told that a light would be seen perpetually at his<br />
grave.” 249<br />
Abu Dawood also reported this in his Sunan from the route of Ibn Is-ḥaaq. 250<br />
And it is reported in the “Ṣaḥeeḥain” from Abu Hurairah :رضيُاهللُعنه “<strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger<br />
informed (the people) about the death of al-Najaashee on the very day he died. He ﷺ<br />
went towards the Musalla (praying place) and the people stood behind him in ﷺ<br />
rows, he ﷺ then said four Takbeers (i.e. offered the Funeral prayer).” 251<br />
Imaam al-Bukhaaree also reported this from Jaabir Ibn `Abdullaah رضيُاهللُعنهما that when<br />
al-Najaashee died, the Prophet ﷺ said: ❝Today a pious man (from Abyssinia) has<br />
died. So get up and offer the funeral prayer for your brother Aṣ-ḥamah (al-<br />
Najaashee).❞ 252<br />
249 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): Reported by Ibn Hishaam in his “al-<strong>Seerah</strong>” (1/364), and its chain is “Ḥasan”<br />
250 (Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said): Reported in Sunan Abu Dawood (2523), with the wording: “…we used to say…” He<br />
reported it from the route of Salamah Ibn al-Faḍhal from Ibn Is-ḥaaq. <strong>Al</strong>-Ḥaafiẓh said about Salamah: “He is<br />
truthful but makes many mistakes.”<br />
[TN: Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee graded the narration of Sunan Abu Dawood, which is reported from the route of<br />
Salamah, as “Ḍha`eef”, but it has the supporting chain, from the narration of Ibn Hishaam which is “Ḥasan” and<br />
elevates this narration to the level of “Ḥasan li Ghairihee”.]<br />
