وفي الحديث: أوصيكم بتقوى الله والسمع والطاعة وإن عبدا حبشيا أي أطيعوا صاحب الأمر وإن كان عبدا حبشيا، فحذف كان وهي مرادة

And in the Hadith: I recommend you fear Allah, and listen and obey, even if it be an Abyssinian slave, meaning obey the commander even if he is an Abyssinian slave, so 'kana' was omitted though implied.

And Al-Ahabish: tribes from Al-Qarah who joined Bani Layth in the war that occurred between them and Quraysh before Islam, so Iblis said to Quraysh: I am your neighbor from Bani Layth, so they shed blood; they were named thus for their blackness; he said: Layth, D'ayl, and Ka'b, and he who caused ... the gathering of Al-Ahabish, when the eyes turned red.

And Hubshi: a mountain at the lower part of Mecca, from which the 'Ahabish of Quraysh' are said to be named, and that is because Bani Al-Mustaliq and Bani Al-Hawn bin Khuzaymah gathered at it, so they allied with Quraysh, and they swore by Allah: 'We are a hand against others as long as the night is calm and the day is clear, and as long as Hubshi remains in its place.'
