Section: Duas about praise

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you ever have to praise someone, say:

أَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللَّهُ حَسِيْبُهُ وَلَا أُزَكِّيْ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَدًا أَحْسِبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا

اَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللّٰهُ حَسِيْبُهٗ وَلَا اُزَكِّيْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اَحَدًا اَحْسِبُهٗ كَذَا وَكَذَا

Allaahumma laa tu'aakhidhnee bimaa yaqooloona, waghfir lee maa laa ya'lamoona [waj'alnee khayram-mimmaa yadhunnoon]
