5- أَحْمَدُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِنِّي جَرَّبْتُ جَوَارِيَ بَيْضَاءَ وَأَدْمَاءَ فَكَانَ بَيْنَهُنَّ بَوْنٌ.

5. Ahmad has narrated from his father from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from his brother from Dawud ibn al-Nu’man from abu Ayyub al- Khazzaz who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘I have put to the test white and dark color slave-girls. There is a great difference between them.’” (It may also mean both kinds are good)
