Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ التَّمَادُحِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَأَخَذَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ تُرَابًا، فَحَثَا فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ، فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ .

Regarding it being disliked to praise (people)
A man came and praised Uthman in his face, Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad took dust and threw it on his face, saying: the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: when you see those who are given to praising people, throw dust in their faces.
