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.
