Hammam said: A man came and praised โ€˜Uthman in his face, al-Miqdad b. Al-Aswad took dust and threw it on his face, saying: The Apostle of Allah (๏ทบ) said: When you see those who are given to praising people, throw dust in their faces.

Abu Bakrah said that when a man praised another man in his face in the presence of the Prophet (๏ทบ) said: You have beheaded your friend (saying it three times). He then said: One who cannot help expressing praise of his companion, should say: I consider him such and such (as he intends to say), but I do not declare him pure with Allah.
