حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَمِّ، نَبِيِّكُمْ ـ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى ". وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ. وَذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ فَقَالَ " مُوسَى آدَمُ طُوَالٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ ". وَقَالَ " عِيسَى جَعْدٌ مَرْبُوعٌ ". وَذَكَرَ مَالِكًا خَازِنَ النَّارِ، وَذَكَرَ الدَّجَّالَ.
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to me: Ghundar narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from Qatada, who said: I heard Abu al-ʿAliya say: A cousin of your Prophet—meaning Ibn ʿAbbas—narrated to us from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘A servant should not say, “I am better than Yunus ibn Matta,”’ specifying him by his father’s name. The Prophet ﷺ also mentioned the night he was taken on the Night Journey and said: ‘Musa was dark-complexioned and tall, as if he were one of the men of Shanuʾa; ʿIsa was curly-haired and of medium stature.’ He mentioned Malik, the Keeper of the Fire, and he mentioned the Dajjal.
Translation notes
Preserved the injunction not to claim superiority over Yunus and the brief list of figures mentioned during the Night Journey.
