Narrated by عبد الله بن جعفر الهاشمي

Abdullah bin Jafar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: It is not fitting for a prophet to say: I am better than Jonah son of matta.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : "

مَا يَنْبَغِي لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَقُولَ : إِنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى
