Translation
Isa ibn Muhammad al-Ramli narrated to us: Damrah narrated to us, from al-Saybani, from Abu Sukaynah, a man of the Muharrarin, from a man among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Leave the Abyssinians in peace so long as they leave you in peace, and leave the Turks in peace so long as they leave you in peace.”
