٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone and let the Turks alone as long as they leave you alone.
قَالَ دَعُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا وَدَعُوكُمْ وَاتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ
The Prophet ﷺ said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, for it is only the Abyssinian with short legs who will seek to take out the treasure of the Ka'bah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4309)
النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اتْرُكُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَخْرِجُ كَنْزَ الْكَعْبَةِ إِلَّا ذُو السُّوَيْقَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ
