Tirmidhi's Shama'il 329 — The Prophet's humility and modesty
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تُطْرُونِي كَمَا أَطْرَتِ النَّصَارَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ فَقُولُوا: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ "
It is narrated from Amir al-Mu'minin, the second Caliph, Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians exaggerated in praising Jesus, son of Mary. I am only a servant of Allah, so call me the servant of Allah and His Messenger."
