Narrated by Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakra, from his father, who said: A man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Woe to you! You have cut your companion’s neck! You have cut your companion’s neck!” repeatedly. Then he said, “If one of you must praise his brother, let him say, ‘I think he is such-and-such, and Allah is his Reckoner (Hasib), and I do not confirm anyone’s righteousness over Allah,’ and let him say, ‘I think he is this way or that way,’ if he knows it to be so.”

Narrated by Ibn Abi Mulaika: Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ), would not hear anything she did not understand without asking about it until she understood it.

[Reported by al-Bukhari in its exact wording, 1/32, Hadith 103, and Muslim, 4/2204, Hadith 2876].
