"Umar came in when the Ethiopians were playing in the masjid. Umar, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with him, rebuked them, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Let them be there, O Umar, for they are Banu Arfidah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1596)   

أحمد:١٠٩٦٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ فَزَجَرَهُمْ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعْهُمْ يَا عُمَرُ فَإِنَّهُمْ بَنُو أَرْفِدَةَ
