60.35 The Statement of Allah Taa'la: "And verily, Yunus was one of the Messengers..."

٦٠۔٣٥ بَابُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {فَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ}

[Machine] "And do not be like the companion of the whale, when he cried out while he was distressed, a grievous distress. And he was gloomy."

{وَلاَ تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ}، {كَظِيمٌ} وَهْوَ مَغْمُومٌ.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should say that I am better than Yunus (i.e. Jonah)." Musadded added, "Jonah bin Matta."  

البخاري:٣٤١٢حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَعْمَشُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ زَادَ مُسَدَّدٌ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى  

bukhari:3413Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Abū al-ʿĀliyah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ said, "No slave (of Allah) should say that I am better than Yunus bin Matta." So the Prophet mentioned his father's name with his name.  

البخاري:٣٤١٣حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِنِّي خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى وَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ  

bukhari:3414Yaḥyá b. Bukayr > al-Layth > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Salamah > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Faḍl > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah > Baynamā Yahūdī Yaʿriḍ Silʿatah Uʿṭī Bihā Shayʾ Karihah

Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So, he said, "No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!" Hearing him, an Ansari man got up and slapped him on the face and said, "You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority over all human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!" The Jew went to the Prophet and said, "O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what right does so-and-so have to slap me?" The Prophet ﷺ asked the other, "Why have you slapped". He told him the whole story. The Prophet ﷺ became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, "Don't give superiority to any prophet amongst Allah's Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses holding Allah's Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody who is better than Yunus bin Matta."  

البخاري:٣٤١٤حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا يَهُودِيٌّ يَعْرِضُ سِلْعَتَهُ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا شَيْئًا كَرِهَهُ فَقَالَ لاَ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْبَشَرِ فَسَمِعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَامَ فَلَطَمَ وَجْهَهُ وَقَالَ تَقُولُ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْبَشَرِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ إِنَّ لِي ذِمَّةً وَعَهْدًا فَمَا بَالُ فُلاَنٍ لَطَمَ وَجْهِي فَقَالَ لِمَ لَطَمْتَ وَجْهَهُ فَذَكَرَهُ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُفَضِّلُوا بَيْنَ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَيَصْعَقُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بُعِثَ فَإِذَا مُوسَى آخِذٌ بِالْعَرْشِ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَحُوسِبَ بِصَعْقَتِهِ يَوْمَ الطُّورِ أَمْ بُعِثَ قَبْلِي وَلَا أَقُولُ إِنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى  

bukhari:3416Abū al-Walīd > Shuʿbah > Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm > Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "None should say that I am better than Yunus bin Matta."  

البخاري:٣٤١٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ سَمِعْتُ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى
