Once, we were sitting with Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) when that man passed by. It was said that this is that person. So Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: The tale-bearer will not enter Paradise.

You have cut your brother's neck." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this several times. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any of you has to praise his brother, he should say: 'I think such and such about this person, and Allah is his guardian,' (and these words should also be used) when a person knows that the other is really like that."

Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man praised another man in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Woe to you, you have cut your brother’s neck. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this several times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If any person has to praise his brother, he should say: Regarding such-and-such person, I think such-and-such, but I do not declare anyone pure before Allah.

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! A person does a good deed because of which people praise him." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the glad tidings given quickly to the believer."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Throw dust in the faces of those who excessively praise (others)."

Ata bin Abi Rabah narrates: A person praised another person in the presence of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) started throwing dust towards him and explained that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When you see those who praise others, throw dust on their faces."

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him and said: O Abu ‘Amarah, you turned your back on the Day of Hunayn. He replied: As for me, I testify and state that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not turn his back. However, some hasty people among the people, when they came under the target of the arrows of the Hawazin tribe, (they retreated). At that time, Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding the reins of the white mule of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: I am a Prophet, this is not a lie, I am the son of Abdul Muttalib.

Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once he was traveling with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); this was on the return from Hunayn. During this time, the Bedouins surrounded the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began asking him for things, until they forced him towards a tree. The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) cloak was also pulled off. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped and said:“Give me my cloak. If I had blessings equal to the number of these branches, I would distribute them among you. You will not find me to be a liar or a coward.”

Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I found a man with my wife, I would strike him with the sword without pardon. This was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so he said: Are you amazed at Sa’d’s sense of honor? By Allah, I am more possessive than him, and Allah is more possessive than me. And because of His sense of honor, Allah has forbidden open and hidden indecencies. And there is nothing more beloved to anyone than presenting an excuse as it is to Allah; for this reason, He sent messengers as bearers of glad tidings and as warners. And there is no one for whom praise is more beloved than it is to Allah; for this reason, Allah has promised Paradise (for those who praise Him).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Faith is Yemeni and disbelief will be from the direction of the east. Among those who herd goats there is tranquility, whereas among the Bedouins who keep horses there is pride (i.e., arrogance) and show-off. The Dajjal will come from that direction until he crosses the Uhud mountain, then the angels will turn him towards Syria, where he will meet his destruction.
