Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَخَاكُمْ النَّجَاشِيَّ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَصَفَفْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ.

Abd as-Samad told us, my father told us, Yunus told us, from Ibn Sirin, from Imran ibn Husayn, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Your brother the Negus has died, so stand and pray over him." He said: We formed ranks and prayed over him as you pray over the dead.
