2662. Narrated Abū Bakra رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man praised another man in front of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Woe to you, you have cut off your companion's neck, you have cut off your companion's neck," repeating it several times and then added, "Whoever amongst you has to praise his brother should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so, and Allāh knows exactly the truth, and I do not confirm anybody's good conduct before Allāh, but I think him so-and-so,' if he really knows what he says about him."
