[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "What is the most amazing thing you have ever seen?" He replied, "I saw a woman with a bunch of food on her head. Then a horseman passed by and scared her, causing her to gather her food and say, 'Woe to you! The day the king sets his throne and takes from the oppressor to give to the oppressed.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'In confirmation of her statement, no nation has been sanctified. How can a nation be sanctified? The weak are not taken care of by the strong, who are not unstable.'"

[Machine] When Ja'far bin Abi Talib returned from the land of Abyssinia, he met the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Tell me about the most amazing thing you saw in Abyssinia." Ja'far replied, "I saw a woman with a bundle of food on her head. A man on a horse passed by her and knocked it off. The woman picked it up and put it back in her bundle, saying, 'Woe to you! The day the King places his throne and gives the oppressed their right against the oppressor.' The Prophet ﷺ laughed until his molars could be seen and said, 'How can a nation be considered holy if it does not give its weak their rights against the strong, especially when the weak are not even rebellious?'" Then Abu Al-Husayn bin Bishran informed us, narrating from Abu Amr bin As-Sammak, who narrated from Abdullah bin Abi Saad, who narrated from Sa'id bin Sulaiman, who narrated from Mansur bin Abi Al-Aswad, who narrated from Ata' bin As-Sa'ib, who narrated from Muharib bin Dithar, who narrated from Ibn Buraydah, who narrated from his father, who mentioned the hadith with its meaning.
