The etiquette of praising a fellow Muslim
Transliteration
Qāla (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): In kan mina-kum man istaḥabba an yamdaḥa akhāhu fa-liyqūl: Uḥsib fulānan ka-dhālika wa-llāhu ḥasībuhu wa-lā uḥsib bi-ḥamdi qabla ḥamdi-llāhi wa-lākinnī uḥsibbuhu ka-dhālika in ʻalima minhu.
Translation
He (saw) said: If anyone of you is impelled to praise his brother, then he should say: I deem so-and-so to be... and Allah is his reckoner... and I don't praise anyone, putting it (i.e. my praising) forward, in front of Allah's commendation, however I assume him so and so... if he knows that of him.
