Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I find in my heart a love of showing off (riya') and self-admiration (ujb). I have tried more than once to drive this thing away, but I have not been able to. What should I do?
Answer:
This is from Shaytan. This is a whisper. Leave it and continue in worship and obedience. This obsession or this whisper will not affect you. Say, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan," and continue in the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This will not harm you. Yes.
