The Dawa of Anajashi

Ahmad al-Asa is a result in many ways of the Dawa of Anajashi. He never got to be in the presence of the Prophet Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Najashi told Ahmad that he was visited by Jibrir al-Hissalam, the way Musa Islam was visited byJibrir. And we prayed on a Najashi even though he was not amongst us. This is the only time when we see him pray upon someone who is absent.
