[Machine] "To be a black Abyssinian servant in the eyes of pebbles on a mountain's head which I care for them until my death reaches me is more beloved to me than throwing an arrow in one of the two rows, whether I miss or hit."  

الطبراني:١٥٣٤٧ – حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ لَمَّا هَاجَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ لِحُجَيرِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الْعَدَوِيِّ «§اذْهَبْ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ فَانْهَهُمْ عَنِ الْفِتْنَةِ» فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمَغْمُورٌ فِيهِمْ وَمَا أُطَاعُ قَالَ «فَأَبْلِغْهُمْ عَنِّي وَانْهَهُمْ عَنْهَا» قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ يُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ

«لِأَنْ أَكُونَ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا أَسْوَدَ فِي أَعْيُنِ حَصَيَاتٍ فِي رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ أَرْعَاهُنَّ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَنِي أَجْلِي أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ فِي أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ بِسَهْمٍ أَخْطَأْتُ أَمْ أَصَبْتُ»
