Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ الْبَهِيَّ أَنَّ رَكْبًا وَقَفُوا عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَمَدَحُوهُ وَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَثَمَّ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ فَأَخَذَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ الْأَرْضِ فَحَثَاهَا فِي وُجُوهِ الرَّكْبِ فَقَالَ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ التُّرَابَ.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us from Wa'il ibn Dawud, he said: I heard Abdullah al-Bahi (relate) that a group of riders stopped before Uthman ibn Affan and praised him and lauded him, and al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad was present there. He took a handful of dust from the ground and threw it in the faces of the riders, and said: "The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'When you hear the flatterers, throw dust in their faces.'"
