The Ruling on People Praising the Doer of Good

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I am keen on doing good and helping others, and some people heap kind words upon me. Does this, Honorable Shaykh, fall under showing off (riya')? And what about the phrase "this is a glad tidings" or "this is from the glad tidings of the believer"?

Answer:
Yes, as you mentioned, this is in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does good sincerely for Allah the Exalted, but the people praise him for it, and he did not intend the praise of the people. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
