Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانَتْ الْحَبَشَةُ يَزْفِنُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيَرْقُصُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَقُولُونَ قَالُوا يَقُولُونَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدٌ صَالِحٌ.

Abd al-Samad told us, he said, Hammad told us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: The Abyssinians used to leap and dance before the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying, "Muhammad is a righteous servant." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "What are they saying?" They said, "They are saying, 'Muhammad is a righteous servant.'"
