Sahih al-Bukhari 5832 (Book 78, Hadith 91)
“May Allah’s Mercy be on you ! You have cut the neck of your friend.” The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated this
sentence many times and said, “If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then he
should say, ‘I think that he is so-and-so,” if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will
take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah.” (Khalid
said, “Woe to you,” instead of “Allah’s Mercy be on you.”)
