بَابُ يُحْثَى فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَChapter: Throwing Dust in the Faces of Those Who Praise Excessively
Hadith 340
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً كَانَ يَمْدَحُ رَجُلاً عِنْدَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَحْثُو التُّرَابَ نَحْوَ فِيهِ، وَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ.“
It is narrated from Ata bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man was praising another man in the presence of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) took a handful of soil and began to throw it at his mouth and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When you see those who praise (others excessively), throw dust in their mouths."
