وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ، الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَيْحَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ». مِرَارًا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا إِنْ كَانَ يُرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا»

A person was mentioned in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and a person said: the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), no person is more excellent than he after the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Woe be to thee, you have broken the neck of your friend, and he said this twice.

Then the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If anyone has to praise his brother at all, he should say: I think him to be so and so, and even on this he should say: I do not consider anyone purer than Allah (considers).

حماد بن زید اور ابن جریج دونوں نے عمرو بن دینار کے واسطے سے حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ، انھوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ابن عینیہ کی ( گزشتہ ) حدیث کے مانند روایت بیان کی ۔

{…} Bize Yahya b. Yahya ile Ebû'r-Rabî'Ez-Zehrânî, Hammâd b. Zeyd'den rivayet ettiler. H. Bize Abd b. Humeyd de rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Muhammed b. Bekir haber verdi. (Dediki): Bize İbni Cüreyc haber verdi. (Hammâd ile İbni Cüreyc) hep birden Amr b. Dinar'dan, o da İbni Ömer (Radiyallahu anhüma)'dan, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen İbni Uyeyne hadisi gibi rivayette bulunmuşlardır

What it means

The Hadīth carries some instructions from the blessed Sunnah. The Muslim should avoid exaggeration when praising others, as pride and conceit are one of the Satan's gateways. Praising and commending people excessively may make the praised one overwhelmed with delusion and arrogance and he becomes ruined. Therefore, a Muslim should be moderate when praising and lauding others, and leave the realities of people to Allah, the Exalted, Who is fully aware of secrets of the souls.
