Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that when people praise and commend a righteous person for his good and virtuous deeds, it is a glad tiding of the Hereafter. It is a reflection of "Glad tidings for you this Day: Gardens..." (: Surah Al-Hadid, verse 12), and is an indication of acceptance and pleasure from Allah. However, this is only the case when the person is not desirous or seeking of such praise, nor does he strive or scheme for it.
