باب الرِّيَاءِ وَالسُّمْعَةِ

Sunan Ibn Majah 4207

It was narrated from Jundab that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allah will show him (i.e., expose his real motives).”

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ مَنْ يُرَاءِ يُرَاءِ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
