رِيَاضُ الصَّالِحِينَ
Riyad as-Salihin 1621
The Book of the Prohibited actions
Things not to be Considered as Showing off
وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَيَحْمَدُهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ ((رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم)).
Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: "Tell us about a person who does some good deed and people praise him, will this be considered as showing off?" He replied, "This is the glad tidings which a believer receives (in this life)." [Muslim].
