Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)
42/14. Chapter:
Making Distinction Between The Prophets
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى " .
Ibn ‘Abbas reported the Prophet (May peace be upon him) as saying : It is not fitting for a servent to say that I (The Prophet) is better than Jonah son of Matta.
