{{Quote|{{citation|url=https://app.turath.io/book/23802|page=328|author=Shihab al-Din al-Abshihi (al-Ibshihi)|title=al-Mustatraf fi Kul Fan Mustatraf|publisher=al-Maktaba al-Shamila}}; translated in {{citation|title=Race and Slavery in the Middle East: A Historical Enquiry|author=Bernard Lewis|ISBN=978-0-19-506283-0|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=1990|pages=92-99|chapter=Image and Stereotype}}|Is there anything more vile than black slaves, of less good and more evil than they'? As for ‎the mulatto, if ‎you show kindness to one of them all your life and in every way, he will not ‎be grateful; and it will be as if ‎you had done nothing for him. The better you treat him, the ‎more insolent he will he; the worse you treat ‎him, the more humble and submissive. I have ‎tried this many times, and how well the poet says: ‘If you honor the honorable you possess ‎him / If you honor the ignoble, he will be insolent.’ It is said that when the [black] slave is ‎sated, he fornicates, when he is hungry, he steals. My grandfather ‎on my mother's side ‎used to say: The worst use of money is bringing up slaves, and mulattoes are even ‎worse ‎and wickeder than Zanj, for the mulatto does not know his father, while the Zanji often ‎knows both ‎parents. It is said of the mulatto that he is like a mule, because he is a mongrel. ‎‎. . . Do not trust a mulatto, ‎for there is rarely any good in him‎}}

Mehren|pages=15-17|year=1923}}; translated in {{citation|author=John Hunwick|title=West Africa, Islam, and the Arab World|publisher=Markus Wiener|location=Princeton, NJ|year=2006|page=81}}|The equatorial region is inhabited by communities of blacks who are to be numbered ‎among the savages ‎and beasts. Their complexions and hair are burnt and they are ‎physically and morally deviant. Their ‎brains almost boil from the sun's excessive heat.. . . ‎The human being who dwells there is a crude fellow, with a very black complexion, and ‎burnt hair, unruly, with stinking sweat, ‎and an abnormal constitution, most closely ‎resembling in his moral qualities a savage, or animals.‎}}
