حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَثْنَى رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ أَخِيكَ ـ ثَلاَثًا ـ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَادِحًا لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلاَنًا ـ وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ ـ وَلاَ أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا. إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated Abu Bakra: 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)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ বাকরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ এক ব্যক্তি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সামনে অন্য জনের প্রশংসা করলো। তিনি বললেনঃ ‘ওয়াইলাকা’ (তোমার অমঙ্গল হোক) তুমি তো তোমার ভাই এর গর্দান কেটে দিয়েছ। তিনি এ কথাটি তিনবার বললেন। তিনি আরও বললেনঃ যদি তোমাদের কাউকে কারো প্রশংসা করতেই হয়, আর সে তার ব্যাপারে অবগত থাকে, তবে শুধু এতটুকু বলবে যে, আমি এ ব্যক্তি সম্পর্কে এ রকম ধারণা পোষণ করি। প্রকৃত হিসাব নিকাশের মালিক একমাত্র আল্লাহ। আর আমি নিশ্চিতভাবে আল্লাহর সামনে কারো পবিত্রতা বর্ণনা করছি না। [২৬৬২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫৭২২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
