عَنِ الْأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ نَادَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحُجُرَاتِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حَمْدِي زَيْنٌ وَإِنَّ ذَمِّي شَيْنٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا حَدَّثَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ((ذَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))
It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman that Aqra’ bin Habis (may Allah be pleased with him) stood behind the chambers and called out to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “O Messenger of Allah!” But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to him. He called out again and said: “O Messenger of Allah! Praising me is an adornment and criticizing me is a flaw.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “This attribute belongs only to Allah, the Exalted.”
