Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Mahfuz al-Iskaf who has said the following: “I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), who had completed throwing pebbles on Jamarah al-‘Aqabah and was moving away. I walked before to clear the path for him. There was a man of yellow complexion from ‘Amrak (or a quarrelsome one) who had fixed a peg in the ground and had tied a rope from it to his tent which had blocked people’s movement. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said to him, ‘O you, be pious before Allah. This (path) does not belong to you.’ He (the narrator) has said that al-‘Amraki said to him, ‘Why can you not mind your own business instead of imposing on me a burden without knowing who passes by (my tent) and say, “O you, be pious before Allah.’” The narrator has said that abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), then lifted the rope of his camel, bowed his head down and passed by. Al-‘Amrakiy, the black person, also left him alone.’”
