Khallad bin al-Sa'ib narrates: I went to Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he praised me to my face and said: "I praised you to your face because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'When a believer is praised to his face, faith grows in his heart.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Ibn Lahi'ah, and the rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
