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 اللَّهُ 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 .

When a man praised another man in his face in the presence of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: You have beheaded your friend (saying it three times). He then said: One who cannot help expressing praise of his companion, should say: I consider him such and such (as he intends to say), but I do not declare him pure with Allah.
