Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abu Jameela, from Muhammad Al Halby, from; Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘Two ferocious wolves among sheep who have separated from their shepherd, one being among its front ones and one being among its back ones, are not more damaging among them than the love of the world and the fame would be regarding the Religion of the Muslim ’.
[5] وَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعِ السُّمْعَةَ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْكَذِبَةَ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ الدُّنْيَا يَعْجِزْ عَنْهَا وَ مَنْ يَعْرِفِ الْبَلَاءَ يَصْبِرْ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْهُ يَنْكُلْ وَ الرَّيْبُ كُفْرٌ وَ مَنْ يَسْتَكْبِرْ يَضَعْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الشَّيْطَانَ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَشْكُرْ يَزِيدُهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى الرَّزِيَّةِ يُعِنْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَحَسْبُهُ اللَّهُ In a lengthy Hadith Rasool Allah -saww said: The one who seeks fame (show-off), Allah -azwj makes him to be named as a liar , and the one who loves the world will be frustrated from it.
And the one who recognises the affliction would be patient against it, and the one who does not recognised it will be tortured (during it). And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allah -azwj Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satan -la disobeys Allah -azwj , and the one who disobeys Allah -azwj is Punished by Allah -azwj . The one who is thankful, Allah -azwj Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allah -azwj .
The one who places reliance upon Allah -azwj , Allah -azwj suffices for him.
