Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a man who loves beauty, and I love to be praised (as though he feared for himself on account of some evil). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "What prevents you from loving to live praiseworthy and to die missed (mourned)? I was only sent to perfect the beauties of character."
