[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ giving a sermon at Arafat during the Farewell Pilgrimage, saying, "O people, fear Allah and listen and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader, for indeed whoever among you lives [after me] will see much strife. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me. Adhere to it and cling to it tightly. And beware of newly invented matters [in religion], for every innovation is misguidance."

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon in Mina. He had wrapped his garment around him, and a muscle in his arm was twitching as he said, "O people, fear Allah and listen and obey, even if a slave from Abyssinia were made your leader. Listen and obey as long as he establishes among you the Book of Allah, the Exalted."

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Farewell Hajj and I heard him reminding and commanding them. From what I heard him say, he said, "A black servant will be assigned to you from Abyssinia. He will recite the Book of Allah to you, so listen to him and obey him."

[Machine] I heard the Prophet, ﷺ , while he was wearing a cloak and he said, "There has been appointed upon you a servant from Abyssinia who is a caller (to prayer), so listen to him and obey him with regards to the Book of Allah, the Most High."
