حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيَعْجَزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلَ أَبِي ضَمْضَمٍ قَالُوا وَمَنْ أَبُو ضَمْضَمٍ قَالَ رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ عِرْضِي لِمَنْ شَتَمَنِي

Is one of you unable to be like Abu Damdam? The people asked: who is Abu Damdam? He replied: A man of old before you. He then mentioned the rest of tradition to the tradition to the same effect. This version has: who would say (in the morning): My honors is for the one who reviles me. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Hashim bin al-Qasim from Muhammad b. 'Adb Allah al-'Ammi from Thabit on the authority of Anas from Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: The tradition of Hammad (i.e. 'Abd al-Rahman's version) is sounder.
