بَابُ لا تُكْرِمْ صَدِيقَكَ بِمَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ
Chapter: Do Not Honor Your Friend in a Way That Burdens Him
Hadith 344
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: لاَ تُكْرِمْ صَدِيقَكَ بِمَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ.
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him), he says: They (the predecessors) used to say: Do not honor your friend in such a way that it puts him in difficulty.
