it?' The man will reply: `I did not neglect any of the ways You liked wealth to be spend liberally for Your sake'.
Allah will say to him: `You have lied. You did it so that people might call you generous, and they have done so.'
Command will then be issued about him and he will be dragged on his face and thrown into Hell.
''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
We learn from this Hadith that:
1. Almighty Allah will first of all bring the show-offs to account for their pretentions.
2. No virtue will be accepted without Ikhlas (
sincerity
), no matter how great it may be. A pretender who does good
deeds for mere show will be consigned to Hell rather than being rewarded with Jannah.

`Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
Some people told me, "We visit our rulers and
we tell them things contrary to those which we say when we depart from them.'' `Abdullah bin `Umar (May Allah be
pleased with them) replied: "In the era of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) we considered this to be an act of
hypocrisy.
''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned (Hadith No. 1542) with a variation of wording in the other
version. In any case, we learn from this Hadith that flattering the rulers, falsely praising them and telling lies before
them to win their pleasure constitute hypocrisy, which is a great offence. Such hypocrisy prevents them from
knowing the true state of affairs. What sincerity and well-wishing demand is that the real state of affairs is placed
before them so that they come to know the true condition of their subjects.

Jundub (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
He who so acts to show off, Allah
will disgrace him on the Day of Resurrection, and he who does good deeds so that people (may hold him in high
esteem), Allah will expose his hidden evil intentions before the people on the Day of Resurrection.
''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith shows the consequences of different acts of show-off and informs us that such acts will
be a cause of humiliation and disgrace on the Day of Judgement.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
A person who
acquires (religious) knowledge, which is (normally) acquired to gain the Pleasure of Allah, (for the sole reason) to
secure worldly comforts will not even smell the fragrance of Jannah on the Day of Resurrection (i.e., will not enter
Jannah)
.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
It is an act of great virtue to acquire religious knowledge provided it is attained for the Pleasure of
Allah. If one acquires it for worldly gains, he will be in fact committing a grave sin for which he will not even smell
the fragrance of Jannah, that is to say in the first instance because after suffering the punishment for it in Hell, he
will be sent to Jannah when Allah will so desire it.
