Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَسْلَمَةَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي: انْطَلَقْتُ فِي وَفْدِ بَنِي عَامِرٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْنَا: أَنْتَ سَيِّدُنَا، فَقَالَ: السَّيِّدُ اللَّهُ، قُلْنَا: وَأَفْضَلُنَا فَضْلًا وَأَعْظَمُنَا طَوْلًا، فَقَالَ: قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ أَوْ بَعْضِ قَوْلِكُمْ، وَلَا يَسْتَجْرِيَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ .

I went with a deputation of Banu Amir to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and we said: You are our lord (sayyid). To this he replied: The lord is Allah, the Blessed and Exalted. Then we said: And the one of us most endowed with excellence and superiority. To this he replied: Say what you have to say, or part of what you have to say, and do not let the devil make you his agents.
