How a Muslim should praise another Muslim

  1. قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: (إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمُ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا، أَحْسِبُهُ - إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ - كَذَا وَكَذَا)

    (He 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.)
