Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) heard a person lauding
another person or praising him too much. Thereupon he said, "
You killed the man,
'' or he said, "
You ruined the
man
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Bakrah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Mention of a man was made to the Prophet (PBUH)
and someone praised him whereupon he (PBUH) said,
"Woe be to you! You have broken the neck of your friend!
''
He repeated this several times and added, "
If one of you has to praise his friend at all, he should say: `I reckon him
to be such and such and Allah knows him well', if you think him to be so-and-so, you will be accountable to Allah
because no one can testify the purity of others against Allah.
''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith prohibits us from praising anyone in his face. If at all one has to praise someone, he
should say that "In my opinion he is such and such,'' provided he really thinks as he says. The reason for this is that
it is Allah Alone Who knows him thoroughly and none can claim to be innocent before Him.

Hammam bin Al- Harith (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person began to praise `Uthman (May
Allah be pleased with him), and Al-Miqdad (May Allah be pleased with him) sat upon his knees and began to throw
pebbles upon the flatterer's face. `Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "What is the matter with you?'' He
said: "Verily, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, `
When you see those who shower undue praises upon others
throw dust upon their faces.
