Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding the Play and Dance of the Abyssinians
Hadith 7877
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."
Hadith 7878
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ لَعِبَتِ الْحَبَشَةُ لِقُدُومِهِ بِحِرَابِهِمْ فَرَحًا بِذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah, the people of Abyssinia performed a display with their weapons of war in joy at his arrival.
Hadith 7879
عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُقَلَّسُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ قَالَ جَابِرٌ هُوَ اللَّعِبُ
Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have seen everything from the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), except for one thing from that time: that on the day of Eid al-Fitr, a display of play was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
