[7502] 66 - (...) It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abī Bakrah from his father that mention of a man was made in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, and a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh, there is no man after the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who is better than him with regard to such and such." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Woe to you, you have cut your companion's neck," and he said that several times. Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If one of you must praise his brother, let him say: "I think that so-and-so seems to be such and such, and I do not confirm anyone's good conduct before Allāh."

66 - (3000) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ، بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَيْحَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ» مِرَارًا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ، لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا، إِنْ كَانَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا "،
