حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا خَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا وَيَا سَيِّ
دَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا فَقَالَ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَجْرِكُمْ الشَّيْطَانُ أَوْ الشَّيَاطِينُ قَالَ إِحْدَى الْكَلِمَتَيْنِ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْفَعُونِي فَوْقَ مَنْزِلَتِي الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Thabit, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that a man said: 'O Muhammad, O the best of us and son of the best of us, O our master and son of our master.' He (ﷺ) said: 'Say what you have to say, and do not let Shaytan lead you astray. I am Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah, the servant of Allah and His Messenger. I do not love that you elevate me above the station that Allah (عز وجل) has placed me in.'
