ENGLISH TRANSLATION
38. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from from Salama ibn al-Khattab from Ali Ibn Sayf from ‘Amr Ibn Shimr from Jabir from Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام who has said the following: “When the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم passed away, the angels, Al Muhajirun and Al Ansar prayed over his body group after group.” The narrator has said that Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام has said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah say in good health, “This verse is revealed to me about praying for me after Allah will take me away from this world. “God showers His blessings upon the Prophet and the angels seek forgiveness for him. Believers, pray for the Prophet and greet him with, “Peace be with you.” [33:56]
