70 — Abū Shu‘ayb ‘Abd Allāh ibn al-Hasan al-Harrānī narrated to us, saying: My grandfather narrated to me, saying: Mūsā ibn A‘yan narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Abd al-A‘lā, from Suwayd ibn ⦗380⦘ Ghafala, who said: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb said to me: “You may well outlive me. Therefore, obey the ruler, even if he is an Abyssinian slave. If he strikes you, be patient; if he deprives you, be patient; and if he summons you to something that causes you worldly loss, say: ‘I hear and obey. Let my blood be shed before my religion is compromised.’”
