Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard al-Hajjaj delivering a sermon, and he said something which I considered objectionable. At first I intended to stop him, then I remembered this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "It is not proper for a believer to humiliate himself." The narrator says: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! How would he humiliate himself?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That he exposes himself to a trial he cannot bear."
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and, in abridged form, in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The chain of al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir is jayyid (good), and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Zakariyya bin Yahya bin Ayyub al-Darir; al-Khatib mentioned him: he narrated from a group and a group narrated from him, and no one has criticised him.
