حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ وَيَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ
مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] أَحَدًا، إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا

✧ A man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, so the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Woe to you! You have cut your companion's neck—multiple times. When one of you must praise his companion, let him say: 'I consider so-and-so'—and God is his reckoner—'and I do not vouch for anyone before God [Blessed and Exalted be He].' If he knows that, he should say: 'I consider him such-and-such.'"
