مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4400
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me to the Negus, and we were approximately eighty men, among whom were Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, Ja'far, Abdullah ibn 'Urfutah, 'Uthmaan Ibn Maz'oon and Abu Moosa, who came to the Negus. Then Quraysh sent 'Amr ibn al-'Aas and Umaarah ibn al-Waleed with gift. When they entered upon the Negus they prostrated to him, then they hastened towards him from his right and from his left and said to him: Some of our cousins have come to your land; they have abandoned us and our religion. He said: Where are they? They said: They are in your land; send for them. So he sent for them and Jafar said (to the other Muslims): i will be your spokesman today - so they followed him. He greeted (the Negus) but did not prostrate, and they said to him: Why dorit you prostrate to the king? He said We do not prostrate to anyone except Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. He said: Why is that? [ja'far] said: Because Allah (PBUH) has sent to us His Messenger, and he instructed us not to prostrate to anyone except Allah (PBUH), and he instructed us to pray and to give zakaah. 'Amr ibn al-' Aas said: They differ with you concerning 'Eesa ibn Maryam. He said: What do you say concerning 'Eesa ibn Maryam and his mother? They said: We said as Allah (PBUH) said: he is the Word of Allah and the Spirit created by Him that He bestowed upon the virgin whom no man has touched (The Negus) picked up a stick from the ground, then he said: O Abyssinians, O priests and monks, by Allah he did not add to what we say about him even as much as this (stick). Welcome to you aud to the one from whom you have come. I bear witness that lie is the Messenger of Allah and he is the one whom we find in the Gospel; he is the Messenger who was foretold by 'Eesa ibn Maryam. Stay wherever you want for by Allah, were it not that i am preoccupied with the responsibilities of kingship, I would go to him so that I might carry his shoes and bring him water for his ablutions. Then he ordered that the gifts of the others be returned to them. Then 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood hastened (back to the Hijaz) and Was among those who were present at Badr; and he said that the Prophet (PBUH) prayed for forgiveness for him (the Negus) when news Of his death reached him.
