I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering Khutbah during the farewell Hajj, and he was wearing a Burd which he had wrapped from under his armpit." She said: "I was look at muscle of his upper arm quivering and I heard him saying: O you people! Have Taqwa of Allah. If a mutilated Ethiopian slave is put in command over you, then listen to him and obey him, as long as he upholds the Book of Allah among you.'"

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدٌ قَدِ الْتَفَعَ بِهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ قَالَتْ فَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَضَلَةِ عَضُدِهِ تَرْتَجُّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا أَقَامَ لَكُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ

“Even if the one appointed over you is a mutilated Ethiopian slave whose nose and ears have been cut off, listen to him and obey, so long as he leads you according to the Book of Allah.”

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا قَادَكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ

[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."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ مَا أَقَامَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ ﷻ

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ while he was standing at Arafat with a cloak wrapped around him, saying, "Listen and obey, even if you are ruled by an Ethiopian slave. Indeed, as long as he establishes amongst you the Book of Allah..."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْدَةٌ قَدِ الْتَفَعَ بِهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مَا أَقَامَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ

“Even if the one appointed over you is a mutilated Ethiopian slave whose nose and ears have been cut off, listen to him and obey, so long as he leads you according to the Book of Allah.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2861)

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ إِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا قَادَكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ deliver a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage, saying, "O people, fear Allah and listen and obey. Even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader and his head is like a raisin, he should be obeyed as long as he upholds the Book of Allah among you."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ مَا أَقَامَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللهِ

"يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ: اتَّقُوا (الله) (*) وإنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبدٌ حَبَشِىٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا أَقَامَ لَكُمْ (كِتَابَ اللهِ) ".
