[Machine] So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up by the door, and I stood behind him, looking between his ears and shoulders while they were playing in the mosque. Ata' said it was a horse or an Abyssinian, and Ibn Umar said they were Abyssinians.  

أحمد:٢٦٠٥١حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ وَالضَّحَّاكُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِلَعَّابِينَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَرَاهُمْ قَالَتْ

فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَقُمْتُ وَرَاءَهُ أَنْظُرُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَعَاتِقِهِ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فُرْسٌ أَوْ حَبَشٌ وقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ هُمْ حَبَشٌ

I like to see them (fighting). She further said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and I stood at the door (behind him) and saw (this fight) between his ears and his shoulders they played in the mosque.
