English translation

[7506] 69 - (...) It was narrated from Hammām bin Al-Ĥārīth that a man started to praise 'Uthmān and Al-Miqdād went and knelt down, and he was a large man, and he started to throw pebbles in his face. 'Uthmân said to him: "What is the matter with you?" He said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If you see those who praise others, throw dust in their faces.'"

Arabic text

69 - (3002) وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَعَلَ يَمْدَحُ عُثْمَانَ، فَعَمِدَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَجَثَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا، فَجَعَلَ يَحْثُو فِي وَجْهِهِ الْحَصْبَاءَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ، فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمِ التُّرَابَ»
