Observations by the Prophet’s Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, in Abyssinia: An era of Abyssinia history in the First Quarter of the 7th Cent. AD as Narrated by the Companions

Abstract

The first Muslims migrated to Abyssinia, and lived there for years. When they returned to their country, they would talk from time to time about what happened to them in Abyssinia, and describe the events and situations they witnessed in that country. Thus, they transferred pages from the political and cultural history of this country in the first quarter of The seventh century AD, and after collecting and arranging it, it came in three sections. First, Al-Najashi’s personality, religion, and features of the system of government and administration in his state. Second, The revolution against the Negus and his victory over his enemy in the war. Third, Glimpses of community life in Abyssinia.
