عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وَفَدَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّنَا وَأَنْتَ سَيِّدُنَا وَأَنْتَ أَطْوَلُ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ يُونُسُ وَأَنْتَ أَطْوَلُ عَلَيْنَا طَوْلًا وَأَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ عَلَيْنَا فَضْلًا وَأَنْتَ الْجَفْنَةُ الْغَرَّاءُ فَقَالَ قُولُوا قَوْلَكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَجْرِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ وَرُبَمَا قَالَ وَلَا يَسْتَهْوِيَنَّكُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he, along with some companions from Banu Amir, came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and described the incident as follows: So we went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: You are our friend, you are our leader, you are very kind and gracious to us, you excel us in virtue, and you are very generous. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Speak with purpose; never let Satan ensnare you in his trap.
