ahmad:20097ʿAffān > Hammām > Sawādah > Samurah b. Jundub

[Machine] I heard Samurah ibn Jundub say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not be deceived by the call of Bilal, for there is a defect in his eyesight and his whiteness appears at the highest point of magic."  

أحمد:٢٠٠٩٧حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنِي سَوَادَةُ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ نِدَاءُ بِلَالٍ فَإِنَّ فِي بَصَرِهِ سُوءًا وَلَا بَيَاضٌ يَتَراءَى بِأَعْلَى السَّحَرِ
