Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي ا
بْنُ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ

English Translation
'Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Qatadah, who said: I heard Abu al-'Aliyah saying: The cousin of your Prophet ﷺ — meaning Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — narrated to me. He said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It is not befitting for anyone to say: 'I am better than Yunus ibn Matta,'" and he attributed him to his father.
