The Book on Government

كتاب الإمارة

Arabic Text

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَبَشِيًّا مُجَدَّعًا وَزَادَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِنًى أَوْ بِعَرَفَاتٍ ‏.

English Translation

Another version of the tradition does not qualify the slave with the epithets" maimed,"" an Abyssinian" but makes the addition:

" I have heard the Prophet (ﷺ) (say this) at Mina or 'Arafat."
