4805. It was narrated from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Bakrah from his father, that a man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and he said to him: "You have cut your companion's neck" three times. Then he said: "If one of you must praise his companion, let him say: 'I think he is' - whatever he wants to say - 'but I do sanctify before Allāh, the Most High.'" (Sahih)
4805 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَثْنَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِذَا مَدَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: إِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ، كَمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، وَلَا أُزَكِّيهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ "
