When a man attempts to recite a boastful poem to President Ahmed Al-Shara, you can clearly see the discomfort on the President’s face — he’s visibly uneasy, trying to silence the man so he can move on. Why? In the Islamic tradition, excessive praise—especially in someone's presence—is discouraged. This principle is rooted in humility and the avoidance of arrogance, both for the one praising and the one being praised. Several authentic hadiths highlight this: 📚 Hadith References Against Excessive Praise: 1. Sahih Muslim (Book 55, Hadith 76): The Prophet (s) said: “When you see those who shower excessive praise upon others, throw dust in their faces.” (Muslim 3002) — This was not a call for literal aggression, but a strong metaphor condemning sycophancy and flattery. 2. Sahih al-Bukhari (Book 78, Hadith 73): Narrated Abu Bakra: A man was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (s), and another man praised him greatly. The Prophet (s) said: “Woe to you! You have cut your companion’s neck,” repeating it several times. “If one of you must praise, let him say: ‘I think so-and-so is such and such,’ if he truly thinks that, and ‘Allah is his Reckoner,’ and do not ascribe purity to anyone before Allah.” (Bukhari 6061) 3. Sahih Muslim (Book 32, Hadith 3000): Narrated by Miqdad: The Prophet (s) ordered us to throw dust in the faces of those who praise people to their faces. ✅ Why is it discouraged? It may lead to arrogance or delusion in the person being praised. It often becomes insincere or exaggerated, especially in front of rulers or people of status. True worth is only known to Allah, not based on public flattery. This explains why figures like President Ahmed Al-Shara, who adopt a posture of Islamic humility, may feel discomfort when praised openly or excessively. The reaction is rooted in prophetic etiquette.
