" لاَ خَيْرَ في الْحُبْشِ؛ إِذَا جَاعُوا سَرَقُوا، وَإنْ شَبِعُوا زَنَوْا، وَإنَّ فِيهِمْ لخلتْين حسَنَتْين: إِطَعَامُ الطَّعَامِ، وَبَأسٌ (عِنْدَ) البَأسِ".

However, they have two good qualities: they feed the hungry and they are brave in times of distress."
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا يَمْنَعُ حَبَشَ بَنِي الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنْ يَأْتُوكَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ أَنْ تَرُدَّهُمْ قَالَ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْحَبَشِ إِذَا جَاعُوا سَرَقُوا وَإِنْ شَبِعُوا زَنَوْا وَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ لخُلَّتَيْنِ حَسَنَتَيْنِ إِطْعَامُ الطَّعَامِ وبأسٌ عِنْدَ الْبَأْسِ
