English translation

950. It was the day of 'Eid, and the black people were playing with shields and spears; so, either I requested the Prophet ﷺ, or he asked me whether I would like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet ﷺ made me stand behind him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Banī Arfida," till I got tired. The Prophet ﷺ asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the affirmative and he told me to leave.

Arabic text

950 - وَكَانَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ، يَلْعَبُ السُّودَانُ بِالدَّرَقِ وَالحِرَابِ، فَإِمَّا سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِمَّا قَالَ: «تَشْتَهِينَ تَنْظُرِينَ؟» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَقَامَنِي وَرَاءَهُ، خَدِّي عَلَى خَدِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «دُونَكُمْ يَا بَنِي أَرْفِدَةَ» حَتَّى إِذَا مَلِلْتُ، قَالَ: «حَسْبُكِ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَاذْهَبِي»
