14 — Muhammad ibn al-Husayn and Abd Allah ibn Abi Badr narrated to us; they said: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us; Abd al-Rahmān ibn Abī Bakr narrated to us, from Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahmān ibn Abī al-Husayn, from Makhūl, from Shahr ibn Hawshab—who, to the best of his knowledge, narrated it only from Abd al-Rahmān ibn Ghanm—from Muādh ibn Jabal, who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who likes to be praised”—as though he feared for himself. The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “What prevents you from living a praiseworthy life and dying sorely missed? I was sent only to perfect noble character.”
