حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي قَتَاد
َةُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ عَبْدٍ فِي أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ

'Affan narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah who said: I heard Abu al-'Aliyah who said: I heard the cousin of your Prophet ﷺ, Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما), from the Prophet ﷺ. And Bahz said: Shu'bah narrated to us, Qatadah informed me, from Abu al-'Aliyah who said: The cousin of your Prophet ﷺ, Ibn 'Abbas, narrated to me. He said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It is not befitting for any servant to say: 'I am better than Yunus ibn Matta' (عليه السلام)." And he attributed him to his father.
