باب التَّسْوِيَةِ في الْعِلْمِ:Chapter: Equality in Knowledge
Hadith 419
أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: كَلَّمُوا مُحَمَّدًا فِي رَجُلٍ يَعْنِي: يُحَدِّثُهُ فَقَالَ: "لَوْ كَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الزِّنْجِ، لَكَانَ عِنْدِي، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي هَذَا سَوَاءً".
Abdullah bin Awn (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that people asked Imam Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) about a man, requesting that he (specifically) teach him hadith. He replied: "Even if that man is an Abyssinian, he and (my son) Abdullah bin Muhammad are equal in this regard (i.e., in status and rank)."
