حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَثْنَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ ‏"‏ . ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا مَدَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي أَحْسِبُهُ كَمَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَلاَ أُزَكِّيهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Bakrah

English translation
Abu Bakrah said that when a man praised another man in his face in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) 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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আব্দুর রাহমান ইবনু আবূ বাকরাহ (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। এক ব্যক্তি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সামনে অন্য লোকের প্রশংসা করলে তিনি লোকটিকে তিনবার বলেন, তুমি তো তোমার সঙ্গীর গলা কেটে দিলে। অতঃপর তিনি বললেন, যদি তোমাদের কেউ একান্তই তার সঙ্গীর প্রশংসা করতে চায়, তাহলে সে যেন বলে, আমি তাকে এরূপ মনে করি, তবে আল্লাহর নিকট তাকে নির্দোষ মনে করি না। সহীহ।
