حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
أَنَّ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ الظَّفَرِيَّ وَقَعَ بِقُرَيْشٍ، فَكَأَنَّهُ نَالَ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا قَتَادَةُ، لَا تَسُبَّنَّ قُرَيْشًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا تَزْدَرِي عَمَلَكَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَفِعْلَكَ مَعَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ، وَتَغْبِطُهُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ. لَوْلَا أَنْ تَطْغَى قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ بِالَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

✧ Qatada b. al-Nu'man al-Zafari fell out with Quraysh, and it was as if he disparaged them. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'O Qatada, do not revile Quraysh, for perhaps you will see men among them whose deeds you will despise in comparison with your own deeds, and whose actions you will despise in comparison with your own actions, and you will envy them when you see them. Were it not that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would have told them what they have with God, Mighty and Majestic.'
