Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1097Da'if (Darussalam), and whoever is seen, Allah will see him?
Answer:
It is a punishment for him. Whoever raises his voice in recitation or beautifies his voice in order for people to hear him and praise him, Allah will hear him, meaning He will reach his voice to the people, and they will hear it and praise him. He will get what he wanted in this world, but he will be a loser in the sight of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). This is a matter of punishment. Likewise, in the Hereafter, Allah will hear him, meaning He will publicize his punishment before the people and expose him before the people. Yes.
