Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَرَفَاتٍ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ مَا أَقَامَ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Isra'il, from Abu Ishaq, from Yahya ibn al-Husayn, from his mother, she said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Arafat delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage, saying: "O people, fear Allah, and listen and obey, even if a mutilated Abyssinian slave is placed in authority over you, so long as he maintains among you the Book of Allah, Mighty and Sublime."
