Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَتْ الْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكُنْتُ أَطَّلِعُ مِنْ عَاتِقِهِ فَأَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعْهَا فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عِيدًا وَهَذَا عِيدُنَا.
English Translation
Waki' narrated from Hisham ibn Urwah from his father from Aisha, who said: The Abyssinians were playing on a feast day, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called me, so I would peep over his shoulder and watch them. Then Abu Bakr came, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Leave her, for every people has a feast, and this is our feast.'
