عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَتِ الْحَبَشَةُ يَزْفِنُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَرْقُصُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَقُولُونَ قَالُوا يَقُولُونَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The people of Habsha used to play and jump with joy in front of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and would say that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a righteous servant. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are these people saying?" They replied, "They are saying that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a righteous and pious servant."
