Hadith 888
أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، نا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ بِعَرَفَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا أَقَامَ لَكُمْ دِينَ اللَّهِ)).
Lady Umm al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) delivering a sermon in the plain of Arafat. He was saying: "If a mutilated-nosed, Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader, then listen to him and obey him, as long as he upholds the religion of Allah among you."

أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا شُعْبَةُ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ أُمِّ الْحُصَيْنِ، أَنَّ جَدَّتَهُ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً.

أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، نا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْعَيْزَارِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الْحُصَيْنِ الْأَخْمَسِيَّةَ تَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ قَدِ الْتَفَعَ بِهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ، وَإِنَّ عَضَلَةَ عَضُدِهِ لَتَرْتَجُّ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: ((اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَلَوْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيُّ مُجَدَّعُ مَا أَقَامَ لَكُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ)).
Lady Umm al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Farewell Pilgrimage, he was delivering a sermon to the people, and he was wearing a cloak, which he had wrapped under his armpit, and the muscle of his arm was trembling. And I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Listen and obey, even if a slave with a mutilated nose and ears, an Abyssinian, is appointed as your leader/ruler over you, as long as he establishes the Book of Allah among you."
