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

✧ They mentioned a man in his presence, and a man said: O Messenger of Allah, there is no man after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more excellent than him in such and such. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to you! You have cut the neck of your companion, saying that repeatedly. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If one of you must praise his brother, let him say: I reckon so-and-so—if he sees that he is indeed so—and I do not commend anyone before Allah [Blessed and Exalted], and Allah is his reckoner; I reckon him to be such and such.
