Commentary for Avodah Zarah 39:9
ד"א לא תחנם לא תתן להם חן: מסייע ליה לרב דאמר רב אסור לאדם שיאמר כמה נאה עובדת כוכבים זו
[It has been stated above.] “Another interpretation: “lo tehannem:” Do not give them grace. This supports the view of Rav. For Rav said: One is forbidden to say, “How beautiful is that gentile woman!”
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
According to Rav, one cannot “give them grace” by saying how beautiful a gentile woman is.
