حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا کَاهِلٍ وَکَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَی نَاقَةٍ وَحَبَشِيٌّ آخِذٌ بِخِطَامِهَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1284
It was narrated that Ismâ’il bin Abu Khálid said: “I saw Abu Kahil, and he was a Companion, and my brother narrated to me that he said: ‘I saw the Prophet P.B.U.H delivering the sermon atop his she-camel, and an Ethiopian was holding onto its reins.” (Hasan)
