وَعَن أبي بكرَة قَالَ: أَثْنَى رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ أَخِيكَ» ثَلَاثًا " مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَادِحًا لَا محَالة فَلْيقل: أَحسب فلَانا وَالله حسيبه إِنْ كَانَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ وَلَا يُزَكِّي على الله أحدا ". مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Abu Bakra Narrated from:
A man began to praise another (to his face) in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. so, he said, "woe to you! You have severed the neck of your brother!" He said this three times "If any of you must needs praise another, then he should say, 'I consider him to be such and such, for, Allah is the One (who knows and) who takes account of him.' If he who praises supposes that the other deserves the praise. (In either case) he must not take upon himself the right to declare anyone pure." [1]
