حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ بْنِ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا حَتَّى لاَ يَبْغِيَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ وَلاَ يَفْخَرَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَبَّنِي فِي مَلَأٍ هُمْ أَنْقُصُ مِنِّي فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ جُنَاحٌ؟ قَالَ الْمُسْتَبَّانِ شَيْطَانَانِ يَتَهَاتَرَانِ وَيَتَكَاذَبَانِ قَالَ عِيَاضٌ وَكُنْتُ حَرْبًا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ نَاقَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا وَقَالَ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ زَبْدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah revealed to me that you should be humble so that no one wrongs another or boasts over another." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man insults me in a gathering where I am superior to him and I reply to him—is there any sin on me for that?" He said, "Two people who insult one another are two shaytans, accusing and lying to each other." ʿIyāḍ said, "I had been at war with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I gave him a she-camel as a gift before I became Muslim, but he did not accept it, saying, 'I dislike the gift of an idolater.'"
