hadith 9170
Imam Ali (AS) said, Beware of praising anyone for something that is not in him, for indeed his action affirms his attribute and belies you.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إيّاكَ أنْ تُثْنِيَ عَلى أحَد بِما لَيْسَ فيهِ فَإنَّ فِعْلَهُ يَصْدُقُ عَنْ وَصْفِهِ وَيُكَذِّبُكَ

hadith 9172
Imam Ali (AS) said, Verily the person who praises you is surely a deceiver of your intellect, [and] a cheater who cheats you about yourself with false compliments and spurious praise; so if you deprive him of your grant or withhold from him your favour, he will label you with every scandal and will attribute every ugly act to you.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنَّ مادِحَكَ لَخادِعٌ لِعَقْلِكَ غاشٌّ لَكَ في نَفْسِكَ بِكاذِبِ الإطْراءِ وَ زُورِ الثَّناءِ فَإنْ حَرَمْتَهُ نَوالَكَ أوْ مَنَعْتَهُ إفْضالَكَ وَسَمَكَ بِكُلِّ فَضيحَة وَ نَسَبَكَ إلى كُلِّ قَبيحَة
