[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."

أَنَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ بِمِنًى قَدِ الْتَحَفَ بِثَوْبِهِ وَإِنَّ عَضَلَةَ عَضُدِهِ تَرْتَجُّ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا مَا أَقَامَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ تَعَالَى»
