ahmad-zuhd:2302ʿAbdullāh > al-Ḥasan > Katab Ilaynā Ḍamrah > Yaḥyá > Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī

[Machine] Ibn Muḥayrīz used to get angry when he was praised and would say, "What do you know? What makes you think you know?"  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٣٠٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا ضَمْرَةُ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ

كَانَ ابْنُ مُحَيْرِيزٍ إِذَا مُدِحَ فِي وَجْهِهِ غَضِبَ يَقُولُ مَا عِلْمُكَ مَا يُدْرِيكَ
