ما يقول المسلم إذا مدح المسلم

1. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُم مَادِحاً صَاحِبَهُ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسِبُ فُلاَناً وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلاَ أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَداً، أَحْسِبُهُ – إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ – كَذَا وَكَذَا.

   The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If one of you must praise his companion, let him say: ‘I consider so-and-so to be such, and Allah is his reckoner; I do not declare anyone pure before Allah; I consider him — if he knows that of himself — to be such and such.’”
