Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَدَّتِي تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَقُولُ لَوْ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا.

Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, he said: Shu'bah told us, from Yahya ibn al-Husayn, he said: I heard my grandmother narrating that she heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage, saying: "If a slave were made to govern over you, leading you by the Book of Allah, Mighty and Sublime, then listen to him and obey."
