حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَ
جُلًا مَدَحَ صَاحِبًا لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ مَادِحًا لَا مَحَالَةَ فَقُلْ أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَحَدًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Bakra (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man praised a companion in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Woe to you! You have cut his neck. If you must praise, then say: I think him to be such and such, and Allah is his Reckoner, and I do not commend anyone before Allah, the Most High.'
