عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُنْشِدُكَ مَحَامِدَ حَمِدْتُ بِهَا رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُحِبُّ الْمَدْحَ
. (Second chain) A similar hadith is narrated, however, at the end of it there are these additional words: That is why Allah Almighty has praised Himself. Through it, have I praised my Lord? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! Indeed, your Lord loves praise.
