Sayyiduna Bashir bin Aqrabah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever stands up to deliver a sermon, and his only aim by it is showing off and fame, Allah Almighty will make him stand in a station of showing off and fame."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and Imam Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Other hadiths on this subject will come later in the chapter on manners and the chapter on asceticism.
