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