nasai-kubra:10004Ḥaramī b. Yūnus b. Muḥammad from my father > Mahdī b. Maymūn > Ghaylān b. Jarīr > Muṭarrif b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Shikhhīr from his father

[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in a delegation from the Banu Amr tribe, and we greeted him. They said, "You are our father, our leader, and you are superior to us in excellence, and taller than us in height." He said, "Say what you want, do not let the devils tempt you." [103] 10005 Humaid bin Masadah informed us, from Bishr bin al-Mufaddal, who said: Abu Muslimah informed us, from Abu Nadrah, from Mutarif, who said: My father said, "I went in a delegation from the Banu Amr tribe to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . They said, 'You are our leader.' He said, 'The leader is Allah.' They said, 'And you are superior to us in excellence.' So he mentioned something similar to that."
