حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: ائْذَنْ لِرَدِيفِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « لَعُظَمَاؤُكُمْ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنَ الْجُعْلَانِ الَّتِي تَدْفَعُ الْخُرْءَ بِآنَافِهَا »، قَالَ: فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ حَمْدِي زَيْنٌ، وَذَمِّي شَيْنٌ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: « كَذَبْتَ، ذَاكَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

✧ A man sought permission during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Grant permission to the riding companion of al-Nuʿman b. al-Mundhir." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Your great ones are more insignificant to Allah than the beetles that push dung with their noses.» He said: Then a man sought permission and said: "Indeed my praise is an adornment and my blame is a disgrace." He ﷺ said: «You have lied; that is Allah, Blessed and Exalted.»
