وَحَدَّثَنِى سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِى أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ حَجَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ حِينَ رَمَى جَمْرَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَانْصَرَفَ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ وَأُسَامَةُ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُودُ بِهِ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَالآخَرُ رَافِعٌ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنَ الشَّمْسِ - قَالَتْ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَوْلاً كَثِيرًا ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ « إِنْ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ مُجَدَّعٌ - حَسِبْتُهَا قَالَتْ - أَسْوَدُ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا ».

Yahya bin Husain narrated from his grandmother Umm Al-Husain, saying: “I performed the farewell Pilgrimage with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and I saw him when he stoned Jamrat Al-Aqabah on his mount and departed, accompanied by Bilal and Usamah. One of them leading his mount, and the other holding up his garment over the head of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) (to shield him) from the sun. And the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said many things, then I heard him say: ‘Even a slave who is missing some limbs is appointed over you’ – and I think he said: ‘who is black’ – ‘but he leads you according to the Book of Allah, then listen to him and obey.’”
