حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْخَلَّالُ قَالَ : نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى التَّيْمِيُّ قَالَ : نَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيِّ .
عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - I " بَعَثَ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ إِلَى قَيْصَرَ وَإِلَى كِسْرَى ، وَإِلَى صَاحِبِ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ . وَبَعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ إِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ I " ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَمْرٌو النَّجَاشِيَّ وَجَدَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ يَدْخُلُونَ مُكَفِّرِينَ مِنْ خَوْخَةٍ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَمْرٌو الْخَوْخَةَ ، وَدُخُولَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَّى ظَهْرَهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ يَمْشِي الْقَهْقَرَى ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ مِنْهَا اعْتَدَلَ ، فَفَزِعَتِ الْحَبَشَةُ ، وَهَمُّوا بِقَتْلِهِ ، قَالُوا : مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ كَمَا دَخَلْنَا ؟ فَقَالَ : لَا نَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ بِنَبِيِّنَا ، فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُصْنَعَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّجَاشِيُّ : اتْرُكُوهُ ، صَدَقَ .
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent three men to Caesar, to Chosroes and to the ruler of Alexandria, and he sent Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Negus.
When Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) reached the Negus, he saw that the people who were with him were entering through a small window-like door, bowing down (prostrating in reverence). When Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that small door and the manner in which the people entered, he turned his back to it and then entered walking backwards. When he had entered and stood upright, the Abyssinians were alarmed and intended to kill him. They asked: "What prevented you from entering the way we entered?" He replied: "We do not do this (even) for our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), although he is more deserving that such conduct be shown to him." Thereupon the Negus said: "Leave him alone; he has spoken the truth."
This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) only through this chain, and Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
