[Machine] A man praised his friend in front of the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Woe to you! You have cut off his neck if you are praising him without a doubt. Say, 'I think of him as such and such, and Allah is his judge. I do not absolve anyone before Allah."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَدَحَ صَاحِبًا لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ مَادِحًا لَا مَحَالَةَ فَقُلْ أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا
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 Allah knows exactly the truth, and I do not confirm anybody's good conduct before Allah, but I think him so and so,' if he really knows what he says about him."
أَثْنَى رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا أَحْسِبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ
A man praised another man in front of the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ said thrice, "Wailaka (Woe on you) ! You have cut the neck of your brother!" The Prophet ﷺ added, "If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise a person, then he should say, "I think that such-and-such person (is so-and-so), and Allah is the one who will take his accounts (as he knows his reality) and none can sanctify anybody before Allah (and that only if he knows well about that person.)".
أَثْنَى رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ أَخِيكَ ثَلاَثًا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَادِحًا لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلاَنًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلاَ أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ
A man was mentioned before the Prophet ﷺ and another man praised him greatly The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you ! You have cut the neck of your friend." The Prophet ﷺ repeated this sentence many times and said, "If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then he should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so," if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah." (Khalid said, "Woe to you," instead of "Allah's Mercy be on you.")
أَنَّ رَجُلاً ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَيْحَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ يَقُولُهُ مِرَارًا إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ كَذَا وَكَذَا إِنْ كَانَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ وَحَسِيبُهُ اللَّهُ وَلاَ يُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا قَالَ وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ وَيْلَكَ
Woe be to thee, you have broken the neck of your friend, you have broken the neck of your friend-he said this twice. If one of you has to praise his friend at all, he should say: I think (him to be) so and Allah knows it well and I do not know the secret of the heart and Allah knows the destined end, and I cannot testify his purity against Allah but (he appears) to be so and so.
مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلاَنًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلاَ أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا أَحْسِبُهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا

مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا
[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a man praised another man. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have cut his back, if any of you praises his companion, he must say, 'I consider him as Allah will hold him accountable. I do not excuse anyone before Allah by considering him this or that unless he truly knows it from him."
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَطَعْتَ ظَهْرَهُ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسَبُهُ وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ وَلَا أَعْذِرُ عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ
"A man praised another man in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Woe to you,you have cut the neck of your companion,'several times. Then he said: 'If anyone of you praises his brother, let him say: "I think he is lie this, but I do not sanctify anyone before Allah." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3744)
مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ» مِرَارًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا»
