Hisnul Muslim

The etiquette of praising a fellow Muslim

He (saw) said: If anyone of you is impelled to praise his brother, then he should say: I deem so-and-so to be... and Allah is his reckoner... and I don't praise anyone, putting it (i.e. my praising) forward, in front of Allah's commendation, however I assume him so and so... if he knows that of him.
