Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَمْدَحُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا يَحْثُو فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ التُّرَابَ.
English Translation
Affan told us, Hammad ibn Salamah told us, Ali ibn al-Hakam informed us, from Ata' ibn Abi Rabah, who said: A man was praising Ibn Umar, so Ibn Umar began - like this - throwing dust in his face. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, "When you see those given to excessive praise, throw dust in their faces."
