adab:761

'Adi ibn Arta' said, "When one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was praised, he said in supplication to Allah), 'Do not take me to task for what they say and forgive me for what they do not know.'"

الأدب المفرد:٧٦١حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ

عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ أَرْطَأَةَ قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا زُكِّيَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا لا يَعْلَمُونَ
