Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ الْحَبَشَةَ كَانُوا يَلْعَبُونَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ قَالَتْ فَاطَّلَعْتُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَاتِقِهِ فَطَأْطَأَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَاتِقِهِ حَتَّى شَبِعْتُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ.
English Translation
Aisha said: "The Abyssinians were playing in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on a day of Eid. I looked over his shoulder, and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) lowered his shoulders for me, and I kept watching them from over his shoulder until I had had my fill, then I left."
