Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I hope you will clarify the hadith, "That is the immediate glad tidings of the believer."
Answer:
That is, if people praise him and he did not seek praise, and he does not want praise, but the people praised him, then this is not disliked; because it is from the immediate glad tidings of the believer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. As for the one who looks for the praise of people and wants the praise of people, that is showing off in worship (riya').
