Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34030 — Reports on how Allah favoured Yunus

Abu al-Aliyah said: The cousin of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not permissible for any servant to say: I am better than Yunus bin Matta."
