حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَدَحَ صَاحِبًا لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَهُ، إِنْ كُنْتَ مَادِحًا لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا " (١)،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man praised another. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas! You have broken your companion's neck." And he said, "If any of you must praise his brother, then he should say: 'I think that so-and-so appears to be such-and-such, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and his true guardian is Allah; I think of him as such.'"
