Hadith text
Narrated Abu Bakra: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)
Abu Bakra bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) ke saamne ek shaks ka zikr hua aur ek doosre shaks ne uski bahut taarif ki. Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Allah ki rehmat ho tumpar! Tumne apne dost ki gardan kaat di.' Nabi (SAW) ne ye baat kayi baar dohraayi aur kaha, 'Agar tum mein se kisi ke liye kisi ki taarif karna zaroori ho jaaye, to use kehna chaahiye, "Mera khayaal hai wo falaan-falaan hai," agar wo waaqai aisa sochta hai. Allah hi hisaab lega (kyunke wo uski asliyat jaanta hai), aur koi bhi Allah ke saamne kisi ko paak-saaf nahi keh sakta.' (Ravi Khalid ne 'Allah ki rehmat ho' ki jagah 'Tum par afsos' kaha.)
