333. Abu Bakr meriwayatkan bahawa seorang lelaki disebut-sebut di hadapan Nabi ﷺ, lalu seseorang memujinya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Celakalah kamu! Kamu telah memotong leher sahabatmu!" dan baginda mengulanginya beberapa kali. Baginda kemudian bersabda, "Jika salah seorang daripada kamu mesti memuji seseorang, hendaklah dia berkata, 'Aku menganggap bahawa si fulan itu begini dan begitu.' Allah-lah yang akan menghisabnya jika dia memang begitu, dan tiada seorang pun boleh merampas hak Allah untuk menyaksikan akhlak 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 bahawa Nabi ﷺ mendengar seorang lelaki memuji lelaki lain dan dia berlebih-lebihan dalam pujiannya. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Kamu telah memusnahkan atau mematahkan belakang lelaki 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 bahawa ayahnya berkata, "Kami sedang duduk bersama 'Umar, lalu seorang lelaki memuji lelaki lain di hadapan wajahnya." Maka beliau berkata, "Engkau telah melukai lelaki 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 bahawa bapanya mendengar 'Umar berkata, "Pujian adalah penyembelihan." Perawi menambah, "Maksudnya apabila ia 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 bahawa pujian terhadapnya tidak akan menimbulkan kesombongan atau bangga diri.] 337. Abu Hurayra meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Abu Bakr. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah 'Umar. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Abu 'Ubayda. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Usayd ibn Hudayr. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Mu'adh ibn 'Amr ibn al-Jamuh. Sebaik-baik manusia ialah Mu'adh ibn Jabal." Kemudian baginda bersabda, "Seburuk-buruk manusia ialah si fulan. Seburuk-buruk manusia ialah si fulan," sehingga baginda menyebut tujuh orang lelaki.

[* 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 lelaki meminta izin untuk masuk menemui Rasulullah ﷺ, lalu Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, 'Dia adalah seburuk-buruk anak lelaki kaumnya.' Ketika lelaki itu masuk, Nabi ﷺ melayaninya dengan penuh kesopanan dan wajah yang ceria. Setelah lelaki itu pergi, seorang lelaki lain meminta izin untuk masuk. Baginda bersabda, 'Dia adalah sebaik-baik anak lelaki kaumnya.' Apabila dia masuk, Baginda tidak menunjukkan wajah ceria kepadanya sebagaimana Baginda telah menunjukkannya kepada lelaki yang pertama. Apabila dia pula beredar, aku berkata, 'Wahai Rasulullah ﷺ, Tuan telah berkata begitu tentang si fulan, namun Tuan tetap melayannya dengan kesopanan. Tuan berkata begitu tentang si fulan, dan aku tidak melihat Tuan melakukan seperti itu.' Baginda ﷺ bersabda, ''Aisyah, sejahat-jahat manusia ialah orang yang dijauhi kerana keburukan lidahnya.'"

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 lelaki mula memuji salah seorang amir. Al-Miqdad mula 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. 'Ata' bin Abi Rabah meriwayatkan bahawa seorang lelaki sedang memuji lelaki lain di hadapan Ibn 'Umar. Ibn 'Umar mula menaburkan debu ke arah mulutnya. Beliau berkata, "Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, 'Apabila kamu melihat orang yang memuji manusia, taburkanlah 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, "Pada suatu hari, Mihjan dan saya pergi ke masjid penduduk Basrah. Burayda al-Aslami sedang duduk di sana, di sebelah salah satu pintu masjid. Di dalam masjid terdapat seorang lelaki bernama Sabka yang selalu memanjangkan solatnya. Kami sampai di pintu masjid yang ditutupi kain bulu berhias jumbai. Burayda ialah seorang yang suka bergurau. Dia berkata, 'Mihjan, adakah engkau tidak solat sebagaimana Sabka solat?' Mihjan tidak menjawab dan kembali. Mihjan berkata, 'Rasulullah ﷺ pernah memegang tanganku lalu kami pergi bersama-sama ke puncak Uhud. Baginda memandang ke bawah ke arah Madinah lalu bersabda, "Celakalah sebuah negeri yang penduduknya akan meninggalkannya apabila ia menjadi sangat makmur. Kemudian Dajjal akan datang kepadanya dan mendapati dua malaikat di setiap pintunya, maka dia tidak akan dapat memasukinya."' Kemudian baginda turun sehingga kami sampai ke masjid, dan Rasulullah ﷺ ternampak seorang lelaki sedang solat, sujud dan rukuk. Rasulullah ﷺ bertanya kepadaku, "Siapakah ini?" Lalu aku mula memujinya dengan berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, ini si anu dan si anu." "Diam!" sabda baginda, "Jangan biarkan dia mendengarnya, nanti kamu membinasakannya."' Raja' menyambung, "Baginda mula berjalan sehingga sampai ke bilik-biliknya, kemudian baginda mula mengibas-ngibaskan debu dari tangannya dan bersabda, 'Sebaik-baik bahagian agamamu ialah yang paling mudah daripadanya.' Dan baginda 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 bin Suray' berkata, "Aku datang kepada Nabi ﷺ dan berkata, 'Wahai Rasulullah, aku telah memuji Allah dan engkau dengan syair-syair pujian dan sanjungan.' Baginda bersabda, 'Adapun Tuhanmu, Dia wajib dipuji,' lalu aku mulai membacakannya. Kemudian seorang lelaki tinggi lagi botak meminta izin untuk masuk. Nabi ﷺ berkata kepadaku, 'Diamlah.' Lelaki itu masuk, bercakap seketika, kemudian pergi. Lalu aku membaca semula. Kemudian lelaki itu datang kembali dan Baginda menyuruhku diam lagi. Lelaki itu pun pergi semula. Perkara itu berlaku dua atau tiga kali. Aku bertanya, 'Siapakah lelaki ini yang aku mesti diam kerananya?' Baginda menjawab, 'Ini ialah seorang lelaki yang tidak menyukai perkara-perkara 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 bin Husayn, lalu 'Imran memberinya sesuatu. 'Imran ditanya, 'Adakah anda memberi kepada seorang penyair?' Beliau menjawab, 'Saya sedang memelihara nama baik saya (daripada 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).'"
