Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Abyssinians used to perform acrobatics in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him); they would say things that were not understood. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "What are they saying?" So the people informed him: "They are saying: Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a righteous servant."
