'Adi ibn Arta' said, "When one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ 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
