Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 33:1478

Affan narrated to us, he said: Mubarak narrated to us, he said: Bakr narrated to us, from Adi ibn Artah, from a man who was from the early generation of this nation. He said: When they would praise him and he heard that, he would say: "O Allah, do not hold me accountable for what they say, and forgive me for what they do not know."
