Narrated Abu Bakra: A man praised another man in front of the Prophet . The Prophet said to him, "Woe to you, you have cut off your companion's neck, you have cut off your companion's neck," repeating it several times and then added, "Whoever amongst you has to praise his brother should say, 'I think that he is so and so, and Allah knows exactly the truth, and I do not confirm anybody's good conduct before Allah, but I think him so and so,' if he really knows what he says about him."
And Abu Jameelah said: I found a boy lying on the road. When Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me, he said, "Let it not be that this cave is a cave of calamity," as if he thought badly of me. But the chief of my tribe said, "He is a righteous man." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If that is the case, then take this child, his maintenance will be upon us (the public treasury)."
