حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ – وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى – قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ،
بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ، يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَمِّ، نَبِيِّكُمْ صلى
الله عليه وسلم – يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ – عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏
“‏ مَا يَنْبَغِي
لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى ‏”‏ ‏.‏ وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ ‏.‏

Abu al-Aliya said:The son of the uncle of your Prophet (may peace be upon him), i. e. Ibn Abbas, reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is not meet for a servant that he should say: I am better than Yunus b. Matta (and this Matta) is the name of his father.
