Leaving off righteous deeds out of fear of showing off

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on leaving off righteous deeds out of fear of showing off?
Answer:
This is from Shaytan, so do not leave off righteous deeds out of fear of showing off. Rather, act and be sincere to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Shaytan will come to you and say, "Do not do this deed, because it may lead you to showing off." This is from the whispers of Shaytan, so do not pay attention to them. Yes.
