حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَدَّتِي، تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ وَلَوِ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us; Shubah narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Husayn, who said: I heard my grandmother relate that she heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, delivering a sermon during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He was saying: “Even if a slave is appointed over you and leads you according to the Book of Allah, listen to him and obey.”
