Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The people of Habsha used to play and jump with joy in front of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and would say that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a righteous servant. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What are these people saying?" They replied, "They are saying that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is a righteous and pious servant."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah, the people of Abyssinia performed a display with their weapons of war in joy at his arrival.

Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have seen everything from the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), except for one thing from that time: that on the day of Eid al-Fitr, a display of play was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
