English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Ajlan reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Is one of you unable to be like Abu Damdam? The people asked: who is Abu Damdam? He replied: A man of old before you. He then mentioned the rest of tradition to the tradition to the same effect. This version has: who would say (in the morning): My honors is for the one who reviles me. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Hashim bin al-Qasim from Muhammad bin Adb Allah al-'Ammi from Thabit on the authority of Anas from Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: The tradition of Hammad (i. e. Abdur-Rahman's version) is sounder.
