It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ مَا يَنْبَغِيْ لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَّقُوْلَ إِنِّيْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ يُوْنُسَ بْنِ مَتّٰی ] [ بخاري، الأنبیاء، باب قول اللّٰہ تعالٰی: « و إن یونس…» : ۳۴۱۳] "It is not befitting for any servant to say that I am better than Yunus bin Matta."
