they said and among us are the arabs not the whites because their colors are close to ours. the indians are lighter in color than the arabs and they are from the blacks. and because the prophet may god bless him and grant him peace said i was sent to the red and the black. and the people know that the arabs are not red as we mentioned before this.
قالوا ومنا العرب لا من البيضان؛ لقرب ألوانهم من ألواننا. والهند أسفر ألوانا من العرب، وهم من السودان. ولأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال بعثت إلى الأحمر والأسود . وقد علم الناس أن العرب ليست بحمر كما ذكرنا قبل هذا.
