MODERATE YOUR PRAISE

1840

“A man started to praise Othman whereupon Miqdad sat down upon his knees and began to throw pebbles at the mouth of the speaker. Othman asked him, ‘What is the matter?’ He replied, ‘The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said. ‘When you see someone praising others, put dust in his mouth.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Hamam the son of Harith who related via Miqdad that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
