It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard a man praising someone and exaggerating greatly in his praise. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have destroyed him," or he said: "You have broken this man's back."
