Musnad Ahmad 20512

Translation

✧ A man was mentioned before the Prophet ﷺ, and a man praised him highly. The Prophet of God ﷺ said: Woe to you! You have cut the neck of your brother. By God, if he heard it, he would never succeed. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: When one of you praises his brother, let him say: By God, indeed so-and-so—and I do not declare anyone pure before God.
