حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَأَبُو بِشْرٍ بَکْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَإِنْ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْکُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ کَأَنَّ رَأْسَهُ زَبِيبَةٌ
