Chapter 21 · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَنْطَلِقَ إِلَى أَرْضِ النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَهُ، قَالَ النَّجَاشِيُّ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَّهُ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ، وَلَوْلَا مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ، لَأَتَيْتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْمِلَ نَعْلَيْهِ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded us to proceed to the land of Negus. Mentioning the rest of the tradition he said that Negus said: I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and it is he about whom Christ son of Mary gave good news. It I were not in the land which I am, I would come to him and carry his shoes.
