Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ قَامَ رَجُلٌ يُثْنِي عَلَى أَمِيرٍ مِنْ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ يَحْثِي فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَحْثِيَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated to us from Sufyan from Habib from Mujahid from Abu Ma'mar, he said: A man stood up praising one of the governors, so al-Miqdad began throwing dust in his face and said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded us to throw dust in the faces of the flatterers."
