حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْحَكَ، قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ " مِرَارًا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا، إِنْ كَانَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَاكَ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا، وَحَسِيبُهُ اللهُ، أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا " (١)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), people were mentioning a man. One person said, "O Messenger of Allah, after you, in such and such deeds, no one seems superior to this person." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas, you have broken your companion's neck." He repeated this sentence several times and said, "If any of you must praise his brother, then he should say it like this: 'I think that such and such a man appears to be so and so, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and his true guardian is Allah; I consider him to be such and such.'"
