حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا ذُکِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَثْنَی عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيْحَکَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِکَ يَقُولُهُ مِرَارًا إِنْ کَانَ أَحَدُکُمْ مَادِحًا لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ کَذَا وَکَذَا إِنْ کَانَ يُرَی أَنَّهُ کَذَلِکَ وَحَسِيبُهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا يُزَکِّي عَلَی اللَّهِ أَحَدًا قَالَ وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ وَيْلَکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6062
Narrated Salim: that his father said; "When Allah's Apostle mentioned wh at he mentioned about (the hanging of) the Izar (waist sheet), Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! My Izar slackens on one side (without my intention)." The Prophet said, "You are not among those (who, out of pride) drag their Izars behind them."
