´It was narrated from Abu Dharr:` “I said to the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘(What do you say about when) a man does a deed for the sake of Allah, and people love him for it?’ He said: ‘That is the immediate glad tidings of the believer.’”
➊ While performing good deeds, one should not have the intention that it will lead to praise and honor. However, a believer does receive the reward of good deeds in this world as well, and he attains honor.
➋ The love of the masses for a righteous believer is a favor from Allah; therefore, one should express gratitude to Allah for it and be cautious that feelings of pride and self-admiration do not arise in the heart.

Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) reported that the Arabs of pre-Islamic days used to observe fast on the day of Ashura and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed it and the Muslims too (observed it) before fasting in Ramadan became obligatory. But when it became obligatory, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Ashura is one of the days of Allah, so he who wished should observe fast and he who wished otherwise should abandon it.

Hadith Commentary:Benefits and Issues: By "the Days of Allah" are meant those days in which Allah, the Exalted, bestowed favors and blessings upon the previous prophets and their communities. That is why, in Surah Ibrahim, it is stated: ﴿وَذَكِّرْهُمْبِأَيَّامِاللَّهِ﴾ "And remind them of the Days of Allah," that is, admonish and advise them regarding the favors and blessings of Allah, the Exalted. And (remind them) that He destroyed and annihilated their enemies.
