“When Gabriel brought the news of the death of Al-Najashi to God’s Prophet (MGB), he (MGB) cried very hard for him and said, ‘Your brother whose name is Al-Najashi has died.’ Then the Prophet (MGB) went to the desert and said Allahu Akbar seven times. Then God evened out all the hills for him so that Muhammad (MGB) could see Al-Najashi’s corpse in Ethiopia.”
