(35) – بَابُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ}
(35) – The Statement of Allah (The Most High): "And verily, Yunus was one of the Messengers..."
Sahih al-Bukhari 3413
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet ﷺ said, "No slave (of Allah) should say that I am better than Yunus bin Matta." So the Prophet mentioned his father's name with his name.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ " مَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى ". وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ.
