Combining the Concealment of Deeds with Speaking of the Blessing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted, and what is permissible for the presenter to see, as many conflicting hadiths exist that stipulate the concealment of deeds, and whether a person owes nothing if he speaks about himself regarding something, and whether there are distinctions in this matter?

Answer:
The verse is
But as for the favor of your Lordوَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:11]
So it is good. If Allah has bestowed a blessing upon you, thank Allah for it and mention it with your tongue as a way of praising Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). There is no contradiction between that and the fact that a person conceals his deed; this is a separate matter. This is gratitude for the blessing of Allah, whereas your righteous deed, you conceal it from the people.

The presenter:
May Allah greet you.
