মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না ও ইবনু বাশশার (রহঃ) ..... নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর চাচাত ভাই ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোন বান্দার ক্ষেত্রেই এ কথা বলা ঠিক নয়, “আমি ইউনুস ইবনু মাত্তা হতে উত্তম।” ইউনুস (আঃ) কে এখানে তার পিতা মাত্তার সঙ্গে সম্পর্কিত করা হয়েছে। (ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন ৫৯৪৫, ইসলামিক সেন্টার)
