giving credit where credit is NOT due

The Talmud in Sanhedrin 6B states that the Posuk in Tehilim "Botzeah Birech Nieytz Hashem" is referring to Yehuda who said to his brothers when they wanted to kill Yosef "Ma Betza Ki Naharog es Achinu". Anybody who blesses or praises Yehuda for saving Yosef is "Nieytz Hashem" is disparaging Hashem. Rashi explains somewhat that Yehuda should have returned Yosef to his father Yaakov rather than convince his brothers not to sell Yosef but rather to sell him where he would eventually end up in Egypt. This passage needs some further explanation as to why, just because, Yehuda didn't send Yosef back to his father, praising him is considered disparaging Hashem. Also, if what Yehuda did was such a terrible thing then why don't we just say that Yehuda was Nieyetz Hashem, why are those that praise him considered disparagers?

Maharsha explains that ultimately, the fact that Yehuda had Yosef sold, led to his becoming king of Egypt and eventually saving the world and helping Bnei Yisroel settle. The ultimate result was extremely praiseworthy. However, Yehuda could not take credit for it because it was Hashem that caused it all to come together and Yehuda's intent had nothing to do with the outcome. Therefore if one praises Yehuda for saving Yosef and helping him save the world he is detracting from Hashem's work. In this instance it is a zero sum game. Praise for Yehuda detracts from praise for God for the hashgacha of having Yosef end up in Mitzraim. That is the Nieytz Hashem. Giving Yehuda credit for something that God did is an affront to God.

A person can get credit for an outcome insofar as his intentions led to that outcome but anything further is detracting from Hashgacha. We find a similar concept is Parshas Vayera where Avimelech kidnapped Sarah from Avraham after Avraham told Avimelech that Sarah was his sister not his wife. That night God appeared to Avimelech and said that he should be put to death for kidnapping another man's wife. Avimelech's response to God was I haven't touched her yet, and  "Besum Levavi- with an innocent intent" and Benikayon Kapai- I have innocent hands" so please dont kill me. God responds that I also know that you have done this with innocent intent therefore I saved you from sinning to me and therefore have not let you touch her. Rashi explains that Gods responce is that I agree that your intent was innocent but the fact that you havent sinned and didnt have a chance to touch the woman was because of me so you cannot take credit for that.

We see the same idea that taking credit where credit is not due or giving others credit where credit is due to God is considered a sin and if in fact we dont sin due to Gods intervention or if wonderful things happen due to something we did without intention for the outcome we owe it to God otherwise we are taking credit away from God.
