Abu Huraira reported:
The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us the news of the death of Negus, the ruler of Abyssinia, on the day when he died, and he said (to us): Beg pardon for your brother. Ibn Shihab said that Sa'id b. Musayyib had told that Abu Huraira had narrated to him that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) drew them up in a row in a place of prayer, and offered prayer and recited four takbirs for him.
