I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He was wearing a cloak wrapped around him, drawn up from beneath his armpit. She said, I was looking at the muscle of his upper arm quivering as he spoke. I heard him say, "People, fear Allah. Even if a mutilated Abyssinian slave is placed in authority over you, listen to him and obey him as long as he upholds the Book of Allah among you."

سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يخطب في حجة الوداع وعليه برد قد التفع به من تحت إبطه قالت فأنا أنظر إلى عضلة عضده ترتج سمعته يقول يا أيها الناس اتقوا الله وإن أمر عليكم عبد حبشي مجدع فاسمعوا له وأطيعوا ما أقام لكم كتاب الله
