Chapter 288
ءﺎﻳﺮﻟا ﻢﻳﺮﺤﺗ بﺎﺑ
Prohibition of Show-off
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but Him Alone
(abstaining from ascribing partners to Him).
'' (98:5)
"
Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who
spends his wealth to be seen of men
.'' (2:264)
"
... and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allah but little
.'' (4:142)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Almighty Allah
says, `I am the One Who is most free from want of partners. He who does a thing for the sake of someone else
beside Me, I discard him and his polytheism.
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
"
He who does a thing for the sake of someone else beside Me
'' here means to do something virtuous
for mere show for worldly benefit, or to gain the reputation of being pious. "
I discard him and his polytheism
''
means that "I nullify his good deeds and deprive him of the reward.'' In this Hadith any virtue done for the sake of
mere show has been likened to Shirk to make its viciousness and harm obvious.
However, this is Ash-Shirk Al-Asghar, and those who commit it will not be forbidden access to Jannah. They will,
after the punishment in Hell, ultimately enter Jannah. Whereas, those who are guilty of Ash-Shirk Al-Akbar and
sheer Shirk will abide in Hell forever.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "
The
first to be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who had died as a martyr. He will be brought forward.
Allah will remind him of the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them. Then He will
ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for it?' The man will reply: `I fought for Your Cause till I was
martyred.' Allah will say: `You have lied. You fought so that people might call you courageous; and they have done
so.' Command will then be issued about him and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell. Next a man
who had acquired and imparted knowledge and read the Qur'an will be brought forward, Allah will remind him of
the favours He had bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them. Then He will ask him: `What did you
do to express gratitude for it?' The man will reply: `I acquired knowledge and taught it, and read the Qur'an for Your
sake.' Allah will say to him: `You have lied. You acquired knowledge so that people might call you a learned (man),
and you read the Qur'an so that they might call you a reciter, and they have done so.' Command will then be issued
about him, and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell. Next a man whom Allah had made affluent and
to whom Allah had given plenty of wealth, will be brought forward, Allah will remind him of the favours He had
bestowed upon him and the man will acknowledge them. He will ask him: `What did you do to express gratitude for
