حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ يُثْنِي عَلَى أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ يَحْثِي فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ، وَقَالَ: " أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَحْثِيَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ 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."
