333. Abu Bakr meriwayatkan bahwa seseorang disebut-sebut di hadapan Nabi ﷺ, lalu ada yang memujinya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Celaka engkau! Engkau telah memenggal leher sahabatmu!" Beliau mengulanginya beberapa kali. Kemudian beliau melanjutkan, "Jika salah seorang dari kalian harus memuji seseorang, hendaklah ia mengatakan, 'Aku menganggap si fulan seperti ini dan itu.' Allah-lah yang akan menghisabnya jika ia memang benar-benar seperti itu. Tidak seorang pun boleh merampas hak Allah untuk menyatakan kesaksian atas karakter seseorang."

333. Abu Bakr reported that a man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and someone praised him. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Woe to you! You have cut off the head of your companion!" and he repeated that several times. He went on, "If one of you must praise someone, he should say, 'I consider that so-and-so is such-and-such.' Allah is the One who will take account of him if he thinks that he is indeed like that, No one can appropriate Allah's right to attest to someone's character." .

334. Abu Musa meriwayatkan bahwa Nabi ﷺ mendengar seorang laki-laki memuji laki-laki lain dan ia berlebih-lebihan dalam pujiannya kepadanya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Kamu telah membinasakan atau mematahkan punggung orang itu."

334. Abu Musa reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, heard a man praise another man and he was using exaggeration in his praise of him. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You have destroyed or broken the man's back." .

335. Ibrahim at-Taymi meriwayatkan bahwa ayahnya berkata, "Kami sedang duduk bersama 'Umar, lalu seorang laki-laki memuji laki-laki lain di hadapannya." Maka 'Umar berkata, "Engkau telah melukai orang itu. Semoga Allah melukaimu."

335. Ibrahim at-Taymi reported that his father said, "We were sitting with 'Umar and one man praised another man to his face." He said, "You have wounded the man. May Allah wound you." .

336. Zayd bin Aslam meriwayatkan bahwa ayahnya mendengar 'Umar berkata, "Pujian itu adalah penyembelihan." Perawi menambahkan, "Yang dimaksud beliau adalah ketika pujian itu diterima."

336. Zayd ibn Aslam reported that his father heard 'Umar state, "Praise is slaughter." The transmitter added, "He meant when it is accepted."

[* Dia yakin bahwa pujian untuknya tidak akan menimbulkan kesombongan atau keangkuhan.] 337. Abu Hurairah meriwayatkan bahwa Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Abu Bakar. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah 'Umar. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Abu 'Ubaidah. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Usaid bin Hudhair. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Tsabit bin Qais bin Syammas. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Mu'adz bin 'Amr bin al-Jamuh. Sebaik-baik manusia adalah Mu'adz bin Jabal." Kemudian beliau bersabda, "Seburuk-buruk manusia adalah si fulan. Seburuk-buruk manusia adalah si fulan," hingga beliau menyebut tujuh orang.

[* He is certain that his praise will nor produce pride or vanity.] 337. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best of men is Abu Bakr. The best of men is 'Umar. The best of men is Abu 'Ubayda. The best of men is Usayd ibn Hudayr. The best of men is Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas. The best of men is Mu'adh ibn 'Amr ibn al-Jamuh. The best of men is Mu'adh ibn Jabal." Then he said, "The worst of men is so-and so. The worst of men is so-and-so," until he had named seven men.

338. 'Aisyah berkata, "Seorang laki-laki meminta izin untuk masuk menemui Rasulullah ﷺ, dan Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, 'Dia adalah seburuk-buruk anak di sukunya.' Ketika laki-laki itu masuk, Nabi ﷺ bersikap ramah dan gembira kepadanya. Setelah laki-laki itu pergi, laki-laki lain meminta izin untuk masuk. Beliau bersabda, 'Dia adalah sebaik-baik anak di sukunya.' Ketika ia masuk, beliau tidak bersikap gembira kepadanya sebagaimana beliau bersikap gembira kepada laki-laki yang pertama. Setelah ia pergi, aku berkata, 'Wahai Rasulullah, engkau mengatakan apa yang engkau katakan tentang si fulan, namun engkau bersikap ramah kepadanya. Engkau mengatakan apa yang engkau katakan tentang si fulan, namun aku tidak melihatmu bersikap demikian.' Beliau bersabda, 'Wahai 'Aisyah, seburuk-buruk manusia adalah orang yang dijauhi karena kejelekan lisannya.'"

338. 'A'isha said, "A man asked permission to come to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the Messenger of Allah said, 'He is an evil son of his tribe.' When the man came in, the Prophet was courteous and cheerful towards him. When that man left, another man asked permission to come in. He said, 'He is an excellent son of his tribe.' When he came in, he was not cheerful towards him as he had been cheerful towards the other man. When he left, I said, 'Messenger of Allah, you said what you said about so-and-so and yet you were courteous to him. You said what you said about so-and-so and I did not see you do the same.' He said, ''A'isha, the worst of people are those who are feared on account of their bad language.'"

339. Abu Ma'mar berkata, "Seorang laki-laki mulai memuji salah seorang amir. Al-Miqdad lalu mulai melemparkan debu ke wajahnya dan berkata, 'Rasulullah ﷺ telah memerintahkan kami untuk melemparkan debu ke wajah orang-orang yang memuji manusia.'"

339. Abu Ma'mar said, "A man began to praise one of the amirs. Al-Miqdad began to throw dirt in his face and said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded us to throw dust into the faces of those who praise people.'" .

340. 'Atha' ibn Abi Rabah meriwayatkan bahwa seorang laki-laki memuji laki-laki lain di hadapan Ibnu 'Umar. Ibnu 'Umar lalu mulai melemparkan debu ke arah mulutnya. Ia berkata, "Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, 'Apabila kalian melihat orang-orang yang memuji orang lain, lemparkanlah debu ke wajah mereka.'"

340. 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah reported that a man was praising another man in the presence of Ibn 'Umar. Ibn 'Umar began to throw dust towards his mouth. He said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'When you see those who praise people, throw dust in their faces.'" .

341. Raja' berkata, "Suatu hari Mihjan dan aku pergi ke masjid penduduk Basra. Burayda al-Aslami sedang duduk di sana, di dekat salah satu pintu masjid. Di dalam masjid ada seorang laki-laki bernama Sabka yang biasa memanjangkan shalatnya. Kami tiba di pintu masjid yang tertutup kain wol berumbai. Burayda adalah orang yang suka bercanda. Ia berkata, 'Mihjan, apakah kamu tidak shalat seperti Sabka shalat?' Mihjan tidak menjawab dan kembali pulang. Mihjan berkata, 'Rasulullah ﷺ pernah menggandeng tanganku, lalu kami pergi bersama ke puncak Uhud. Beliau memandang ke arah Madinah dan bersabda, "Celakalah kota yang penduduknya meninggalkannya ketika ia sangat makmur. Kemudian Dajjal akan datang kepadanya dan mendapati dua malaikat di setiap pintu gerbangnya, sehingga ia tidak dapat masuk." Lalu beliau turun hingga kami sampai di masjid, dan Rasulullah ﷺ melihat seorang laki-laki sedang shalat, sujud dan rukuk. Rasulullah ﷺ bertanya kepadaku, "Siapa ini?" Maka aku mulai memujinya, dengan berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, ini fulan dan fulan." "Berhentilah!" sabda beliau, "Jangan sampai ia mendengarnya, nanti kamu membinasakannya."'" Raja' melanjutkan, "Lalu Burayda mulai berjalan hingga sampai ke kamarnya, kemudian ia mulai mengibaskan debu dari tangannya dan berkata, 'Bagian terbaik dari agamamu adalah yang paling mudah darinya.' Dan ia mengulanginya tiga kali."

341. Raja' said. "One day Mihjan and I went to the mosque of the people of Basra. Burayda al-Aslami was sitting there by one of the mosque doors. Inside the mosque there was a man called Sabka who used to make the prayers long. We came to the mosque door which had a fringed woollen cloth over it. Now Burayda was someone who made jokes. He said, 'Mihjan, don't you pray as Sabka prays?' Mihjan did not answer and went back. Mihjan said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, once took me by the hand and we went together to the top of Uhud. He looked down on Madina and said, "Woe to a town whose people will abandon it when it becomes very prosperous. Then the Dajjal will come to it and find two angels at each of its gates, so he will not enter it." Then he went down until we reached the mosque and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw a man praying, prostrating and bowing. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked me, "Who is this?" and I began to praise him, saying, "Messenger of Allah, this is so-and-so and so-and-so." "Stop!" he said, "Do not let him hear or you will destroy him."'" Raja' continued, "He began to walk until he reached his rooms and then he began to shake the dust off his hands and said, 'The best part of your deen is the easiest of it.' and he repeated that three times."

342. Al-Aswad ibn Suray' berkata, "Aku datang kepada Nabi ﷺ dan berkata, 'Wahai Rasulullah, aku telah memuji Allah dan engkau dengan syair-syair pujian dan sanjungan.' Beliau bersabda, 'Adapun Rabb-mu, Dia memang harus dipuji,' lalu aku mulai membacakannya. Kemudian seorang laki-laki tinggi yang botak meminta izin untuk masuk. Nabi ﷺ berkata kepadaku, 'Diamlah.' Laki-laki itu masuk, berbicara beberapa saat, lalu pergi. Kemudian aku membacakan lagi. Lalu laki-laki lain itu kembali, dan beliau kembali menyuruhku diam. Setelah itu laki-laki tersebut pergi lagi. Hal itu terjadi dua atau tiga kali. Aku bertanya, 'Siapakah laki-laki yang harus aku diamkan ini?' Beliau menjawab, 'Ini adalah seorang laki-laki yang tidak menyukai hal-hal yang sia-sia.'" [It is said that it was 'Umar ibn al-Khattab]

342. Al-Aswad ibn Suray' said, "I came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have praised Allah and you in poems of praise and eulogies.' He said, 'As far as your Lord is concerned, He must be praised,' and so I began to recite them. Then a tall bald man asked for permission to enter. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told me, 'Be silent.' The man came in and spoke for a time and then left. Then I recited again. Then the other man came back and he made be silent again. Then the man left again. That happened two or three times. I asked, 'Who is this man for whom I must be silent?' He replied, 'This is a man who does not like vain things.'" [It is said that it was 'Umar ibn al-Khattab]

343. Abu Nujayd berkata, "Seorang penyair datang kepada 'Imran ibn Husayn, lalu 'Imran memberinya sesuatu. 'Imran ditanya, 'Engkau memberi kepada seorang penyair?' Ia menjawab, 'Aku sedang menjaga nama baikku (dari sindirannya).'"

343. Abu Nujayd said, "A poet came to 'Imran ibn Husayn and 'Imran gave him something. 'Imran was asked, 'You give to a poet?' He said, 'I am preserving my reputation (from his satire).'"
