بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي التَّرْهِيبِ مِنَ الرَّيَاءِ وَهُوَ الشَّرْكُ الْخَفِيُّ نَعُوْذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ
Chapter on what has been narrated regarding warning against showing off, which is hidden shirk; we seek refuge with Allah from it
Hadith 9706
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ بَكَى فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ قَالَ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهُ فَذَكَرْتُهُ فَأَبْكَانِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الشِّرْكَ وَالشَّهْوَةَ الْخَفِيَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُشْرِكُ أُمَّتُكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْبُدُونَ شَمْسًا وَلَا قَمَرًا وَلَا حَجَرًا وَلَا وَثَنًا وَلَكِنْ يُرَاؤُونَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ وَالشَّهْوَةُ الْخَفِيَّةُ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ أَحَدُهُمْ صَائِمًا فَتَعْرِضُ لَهُ شَهْوَةٌ مِنْ شَهَوَاتِهِ فَيَتْرُكُ صَوْمَهُ
It is narrated from ‘Ubada bin Nusi, who says that Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. Someone asked him: Why are you weeping? He said: I remembered a hadith that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrate, and that made me weep. I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I fear for my ummah regarding shirk and hidden desires. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Will your ummah commit shirk after you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, beware! They will not worship the sun, the moon, stones, or idols, but they will show off through their deeds, and the hidden desire is that a servant fasts in the morning, then some desire overcomes him and he breaks his fast.
Hadith 9707
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي فَضَالَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مَنْ كَانَ أَشْرَكَ فِي عَمَلٍ عَمِلَهُ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَحَدًا فَلْيَطْلُبْ ثَوَابَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ
It is narrated from the Companion of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Abi Saeed bin Abu Fadalah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Allah Almighty gathers the first and the last on that Day, in which there is no doubt, a caller will announce: Whoever among the servants performed deeds for Allah Almighty, but also associated someone else in them, then let him seek his reward from that other than Allah, for Allah Almighty says: I am the most independent of partners from shirk (association).
Hadith 9708
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَا خَيْرُ الشُّرَكَاءِ مَنْ عَمِلَ لِي عَمَلًا فَأَشْرَكَ غَيْرِي فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ وَهُوَ لِلَّذِي أَشْرَكَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says: I am the best of partners among partners. Whoever performs a deed for Me and then associates someone else with Me in it, I am free from him, and he is for the one whom he associates.
Hadith 9709
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بَهْرَامَ قَالَ قَالَ شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ ابْنُ غَنَمٍ لَمَّا دَخَلْنَا مَسْجِدَ الْجَابِيَةِ أَنَا وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَقِينَا عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَأَخَذَ يَمِينِي بِشِمَالِهِ وَشِمَالَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِيَمِينِهِ فَخَرَجَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَنَا وَنَحْنُ نَتَنَاجَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ فِيمَا نَتَنَاجَى وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ لَئِنْ طَالَ بِكُمَا عُمْرُ أَحَدِ كُمَا أَوْ كِلَا كُمَا لَتُوشِكَانِ أَنْ تَرَيَا الرَّجُلَ مِنْ ثَبَجِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَعْنِي مِنْ وَسَطٍ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ أَخِيهِ قِرَاءَةً عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) فَأَعَادَهُ وَأَبْدَاهُ وَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ وَنَزَلَ عِنْدَ مَنَازِلِهِ لَا يَحُورُ فِيكُمْ إِلَّا كَمَا يَحُورُ رَأْسُ الْحِمَارِ الْمَيِّتِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ طَلَعَ شَدَّادُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ وَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَجَلَسَا إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ شَدَّادٌ إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مِنَ الشَّهْوَةِ الْخَفِيَّةِ وَالشِّرْكِ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ غُفْرًا أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَدْ يَئِسَ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ فَأَمَّا الشَّهْوَةُ الْخَفِيَّةُ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهَا هِيَ شَهَوَاتُ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ نِسَائِهَا وَشَهَوَاتِهَا فَمَا هَذَا الشِّرْكُ الَّذِي تُخَوِّفُنَا بِهِ يَا شَدَّادُ فَقَالَ شَدَّادٌ أَرَأَيْتُكُمْ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي لِرَجُلٍ أَوْ يَصُومُ لَهُ أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ لَهُ أَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَشْرَكَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى لِرَجُلٍ أَوْ صَامَ لَهُ أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ لَهُ فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ فَقَالَ شَدَّادٌ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى يُرَائِي فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ وَمَنْ صَامَ يُرَائِي فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ وَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ يُرَائِي فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ فَقَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَفَلَا يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَا ابْتُغِيَ فِيهِ وَجْهُهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلِ كُلِّهِ فَيَقْبَلَ مَا خَلَصَ لَهُ وَيَدَعَ مَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ فَقَالَ شَدَّادٌ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَنَا خَيْرُ قَسِيمٍ لِمَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِي مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِي شَيْئًا فَإِنَّ حَشْدَهُ عَمَلَهُ قَلِيلَهُ وَكَثِيرَهُ لِشَرِيكِهِ الَّذِي أَشْرَكَ بِهِ وَأَنَا عَنْهُ غَنِيٌّ
Ibn Ghanm says: When I and Sayyiduna Abu Darda entered the mosque of Jabiyah, we met Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him). He took my right hand with his left hand and Sayyiduna Abu Darda’s left hand with his right hand and began to walk between us. We began to whisper, and Allah knows best what we were whispering about. Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If one or both of you live long, it is possible that you will see a man belonging to the middle class of Muslims, who will recite the Holy Qur’an according to the tongue of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he will recite it repeatedly and display it, and he will consider its lawful as lawful and its unlawful as unlawful, and he will adhere to its commands, but still he will bring to you as much good as the head of a dead donkey brings (i.e., that man will not bring even the slightest good or virtue). While we were in this state, Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws and Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them both) came and sat with us. Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! What I fear most for you is what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is hidden desire and shirk (associating partners with Allah). Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit and Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: O Allah, forgive! Did not the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Satan has despaired of being worshipped in the Arabian Peninsula? As for hidden desire, we know that it is the desires of the world, related to women and their desires, but Shaddad! What is this shirk about which you are warning us? Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Well, tell me about this: if a man prays for the sake of another man, or fasts, or gives charity, do you not think that he has committed shirk? They said: Yes, by Allah! Whoever prays to show someone, or fasts, or gives charity, he has committed shirk. Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever prays showing off, he has committed shirk; whoever fasts showing off, he has committed shirk; whoever gives charity showing off, he has committed shirk. Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Will it not be that those deeds which he did purely for Allah will be considered and accepted, and the deeds of shirk will be left aside? Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever associates anyone with Me, I am the best of partners and associates; whoever associates anything with Me, all his accumulated deeds, whether little or much, will be for the one with whom he associated, and I (Allah) am free from him.
Hadith 9710
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَمَّعَ سَمَّعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ رَاءَ رَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever desires to become famous, Allah Almighty will make him famous, and whoever desires to display (false) righteousness, Allah Almighty will make it apparent.
Hadith 9711
عَنْ أَبِي هِنْدٍ الدَّارِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((مَنْ قَامَ مَقَامَ رِيَاءٍ وَسُمْعَةٍ رَاءَى اللَّهُ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَسَمَّعَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hind Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever stands at the place of showing off and seeking fame, Allah Almighty will expose him on the Day of Resurrection and will make him well-known.
Hadith 9712
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْكِنَانِيِّ وَكَانَ عَامِلًا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَلَى الرَّمْلَةِ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ لِبَشِيرِ بْنِ عَقْرَبَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ يَوْمَ قُتِلَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ يَا أَبَا الْيَمَانِ قَدِ احْتَجْتُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى كَلَامِكَ فَقُمْ فَتَكَلَّمْ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((مَنْ قَامَ بِخُطْبَةٍ لَا يَلْتَمِسُ بِهَا إِلَّا رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً أَوْقَفَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَوْقِفَ رِيَاءٍ وَسُمْعَةٍ))
Abdullah bin Auf Kanani, who was the governor of Ramla on behalf of Umar bin Abdul Aziz, narrates: He says, I was present with Abdul Malik bin Marwan, and on the day when Amr bin Saeed bin Aas was killed, he said to Basheer bin Aqra’bah Juhani: O Abu al-Yaman! Today I am in need of your speech, so stand up and say something. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever stands up to address people, and his only intention is showing off and seeking fame, Allah Almighty will make him stand in the place of showing off and fame.
Hadith 9713
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((مَنْ سَمَّعَ النَّاسَ بِعَمَلِهِ سَمَّعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ سَامِعَ خَلْقِهِ وَصَغَّرَهُ وَحَقَّرَهُ)) قَالَ فَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever seeks to become famous among people through his deeds, Allah Almighty will make him famous before the creation, but then He will make him lowly and contemptible. Then the eyes of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) filled with tears.
Hadith 9714
عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ تَفَرَّجَ النَّاسُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَاتِلٌ الشَّامِيُّ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ((إِنَّ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ يُقْضَى فِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ وَمَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا قَالَ قَاتَلْتُ فِيكَ حَتَّى قُتِلْتُ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّكَ قَاتَلْتَ لِيُقَالَ هُوَ جَرِيءٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمَهُ وَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ لِيُعَرِّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا قَالَ تَعَلَّمْتُ مِنْكَ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمْتُهُ وَقَرَأْتُ فِيكَ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعَلَّمْتَ لِيُقَالَ هُوَ عَالِمٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ وَقَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ لِيُقَالَ هُوَ قَارِئٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ الْمَالِ كُلِّهِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا قَالَ مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُنْفَقَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَنْفَقْتُ فِيهَا لَكَ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ لِيُقَالَ هُوَ جَوَّادٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ))
Sulaiman bin Yasar says: When the people dispersed from around Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), a man from the people of Syria named Natil said: Respected one! Narrate to us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: On the Day of Resurrection, the first (three types of) people whose case will be decided are: (1) The man who was martyred, he will be brought, Allah Almighty will make him recognize His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. Then Allah Almighty will ask: What deed did you bring? He will say: I fought in Your way until I was martyred. Allah Almighty will say: You are lying, you fought so that you would be called brave, and so it has already been said (in the world). Then it will be ordered regarding him, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell. (2) The man who learned and taught knowledge and recited the Qur’an, he will be brought, Allah Almighty will make him recognize His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. Allah Almighty will say: What deed did you bring? He will say: I learned and taught knowledge for Your sake and recited the Qur’an for You. Allah Almighty will say: You are lying, your purpose in acquiring knowledge was so that you would be called a scholar, and you recited the Qur’an so that you would be called a reciter, and so it has already been said. Then it will be ordered regarding him, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell. (3) The man whom Allah Almighty made prosperous and wealthy and granted all kinds of wealth, he will be brought. Allah Almighty will make him recognize His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. Then Allah Almighty will say: What deed did you bring? He will say: I spent in all those ways that You liked to be spent in, I spent for Your sake in all those ways. Allah Almighty will say: You are lying, your purpose in spending was so that you would be called generous, and that has already been said. Then it will be ordered regarding him, according to which he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.
Hadith 9715
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَنَاوَبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَبِيتُ عِنْدَهُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ وَيَطْرُقُهُ أَمْرٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَبْعَثُنَا فَيَكْثُرُ الْمُحْتَسِبُونَ وَأَهْلُ النَّوْبِ فَكُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ ((مَا هَذِهِ النَّجْوَى أَلَمْ أَنْهَكُمْ عَنِ النَّجْوَى)) قَالَ قُلْنَا نَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ فِي ذِكْرِ الْمَسِيحِ فَرَقًا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ ((أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا هُوَ أَخْوَفُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ عِنْدِي)) قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ ((الشِّرْكُ الْخَفِيُّ أَنْ يَقُومَ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ لِمَكَانِ رَجُلٍ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We used to take turns to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and would spend the night with him. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) needed something or if any matter arose during the night, he would wake us up. In this way, the number of those coming for reward and those on duty would increase. One night, we were conversing when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: Is this whispering going on? Did I not forbid you from whispering? We said: O Messenger of Allah! We are turning to Allah Almighty and, fearing the Dajjal, we are talking about him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not inform you of something which, in my view, is more fearful than the Messiah Dajjal? We said: Yes, indeed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hidden shirk, that is, performing deeds for the sake of someone’s status.
Hadith 9716
عَنِ ابْنِ الْأَدْرَعِ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَحْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَخَرَجَ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ قَالَ فَرَآنِي فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مُرَائِيًا)) قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ قَالَ فَرَفَضَ يَدِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ((إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَنَالُوا هَذَا الْأَمْرَ بِالْمُغَالَبَةِ)) قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَأَنَا أَحْرُسُهُ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُصَلِّي بِالْقُرْآنِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مُرَائِيًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((كَلَّا إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ)) قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ذُو الْبِجَادَيْنِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Adra’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was guarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) one night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for some need. When he saw me, he took my hand, so we set out and passed by a man who was reciting the Qur’an aloud in prayer. Upon seeing him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It is near that this one becomes a show-off.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! He is reciting the Qur’an in a loud voice (what harm is there in that)?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) let go of my hand and said: “You cannot attain this religion with dominance.” He says: Then, on another night, it happened that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for some need, while I was guarding (as before). (Similarly) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand (and we set out) and passed by a man who was reciting the Qur’an aloud in prayer. This time, I said: “It is near that this person becomes a show-off.” But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (rejecting my statement) said: “Never, he is indeed one who repents much.” When I looked, it was Sayyiduna Abdullah Dhu al-Bijadayn.
