حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ : قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ ، فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ يَحْثُو فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ ، وَقَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَحْثُوَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ " , وفي الباب عن أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَحَدِيثُ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ أَصَحُّ ، وَأَبُو مَعْمَرٍ اسْمُهُ : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَخْبَرَةَ ، وَالْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ هُوَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْكِنْدِيُّ وَيُكْنَى : أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ وَإِنَّمَا نُسِبَ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ تَبَنَّاهُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ .
´Abu Ma'mar said:` "A man stood and praised one of the 'Amirs so Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad threw dust in his face and said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered us to throw dust in the faces of those who praise others.'"
Brief Explanation
1؎: The command to throw dust (upon the face of one who is praised) is perhaps because when someone is praised in his presence, there is a likelihood that pride and arrogance may develop within him, and there is a risk that he may consider his faults as virtues and look down upon his fellow Muslim brother. Therefore, the one who praises should refrain from undue praise of anyone, and whoever senses the aforementioned danger should protect himself, for he will gain nothing except deprivation.
