حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: جَعَلَ رَجُلُ يَمْدَحُ عَامِلًا لِعُثْمَانَ فَعَمَدَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَجَعَلَ يَحْثُو التُّرَابَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ: مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ، فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ " (١)،

Maymun bin Abi Shabib says that an official began to praise Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), so Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward and began to throw dust on his face. Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "What is this?" He replied that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you see someone praising another, throw dust on his face."
