This hadith has been narrated on the authority of jurairi with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of words (and this is) that he (the narrator) did not say:
" They felt jealous of him. but said: The people of Mecca, were jealous people."
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ قَوْمَ حَسَدٍ . وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَحْسُدُونَهُ .
