Note 2

Even if an Abyssinian slave whose head is like a raisin,

(2) Regarding the saying: "Even if an Abyssinian slave whose head is like a raisin," etc.: This refers to an Abyssinian slave appointed by the supreme imam over the people, not as the supreme imam himself, as imams must be from Quraysh. It is said to be an exaggeration to emphasize obedience and prohibit division or opposition, as stated in al-Marqah.
