حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ قَالَ
جَعَلَ رَجُلٌ يَمْدَحُ عَامِلًا لِعُثْمَانَ، فَعَمَدَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَجَعَلَ يَحْثُو التُّرَابَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ
