قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، ثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:
لَمَّا قَدِمَ جَعْفَرٌ ؓ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: « مَا أَعْجَبُ شَيْءٍ رَأَيْتَ ؟ » قَالَ ؓ: رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى رَأْسِهَا مِكْتَلٌ فِيهِ طَعَامٌ، فَمَرَّ فَارِسٌ يَرْكُضُ فَأَذْرَاهُ، فَقَعَدَتْ تَجْمَعُ طَعَامَهَا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: وَيْلٌ لَكَ يَوْمَ يَضَعُ الْمَلِكُ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَيَأْخُذُ لِلْمَظْلُومِ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَصْدِيقًا لِقَوْلِهَا: « لَا قُدِّسَتْ - أَوْ كَيْفَ تُقَدَّسُ - أُمَّةٌ لَا يَأْخُذُ ضَعِيفُهَا حَقَّهُ مِنْ شَدِيدِهَا غَيْرَ مُتَعْتَعٍ

✧ When Ja'far ؓ arrived from Abyssinia to the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'What is the most amazing thing you saw?' He ؓ said: 'I saw a woman carrying a basket of food on her head. A horseman rushed past and knocked it down. She sat gathering her food, then turned to him and said: Woe to you on the day when the King sets up His throne and takes for the oppressed from the oppressor.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, affirming her words: 'Sanctified is not—or how can be sanctified—a community whose weak cannot take his right from its strong without fear.'
