أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ الْحَبَشَةَ كَانُوا يَزْفِنُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِكَلَامٍ لَا يَفْهَمْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ «قَالُوا مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ.»
