Hiding and concealing good deeds
Be careful to remain inactive and not stand out or appear
On the authority of Buraydah bin Al-Husayb, may God be pleased with him, he said

So I fought until my position was seen
And I'm wearing a red dress

That is, fame
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, was
If the supplies of the people of Yemen come to him
He asked them
Is Uwais bin Amer the best among you?
Until he came to Uwais and said:
You are Uwais bin Amer
He said yes
He said
From Murad, then from Qarn
He said yes
He said
So you had leprosy and you recovered from it, except for the place where they were injured
He said yes
He said
You have a mother
He said yes
He said
I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say
Uwais bin Amer comes to you
With the supplies of the people of Yemen
From Murad, then from Qarn
He had leprosy and was cured of it, except for the place where they were wounded
He has a mother with whom he is righteous
If he swore an oath to God, he would fulfill it
If you are able to ask forgiveness for yourself, then do so
So ask forgiveness for me
So ask forgiveness for him

Where you want
He said
Kufa
He said
Shall I not write to you to her worker?

Isn't it such and such?
And he says
He didn't ask me about this

Who may love fame and not feel it
If he is blamed for that

Rather, he admits and says
May God have mercy on those who point out my faults to me
He does not admire himself and does not feel his flaws
Rather, he does not feel that he does not feel
This is a chronic disease

And you, Abu Omar
Whoever insults us

And what his neighbor feels
Although the man has learned a lot of jurisprudence
And what people feel
Even if the man was to arrive
Long prayers in his house
And he has falsehood and what they feel
We have come to know people
There was no work on earth
They can do it secretly
So he will never have the intention

And their voice is not heard

And my feet sank
And my nails fell off

His tears flowed down his cheek
The person next to him does not feel it

But I am not fasting
Then he read
They fear a day when hearts and eyes will be transformed

Be a lover of inactivity and hate fame
Do not show yourself that you like idleness
So raise yourself up
Your claim is asceticism from yourself
Because you bring praise and praise to yourself
Ayoub Al-Sakhtiani, may God have mercy on him, said
May God fear man
If he is ascetic, let him not make his asceticism a torment for the people
It is better for a man to hide his asceticism than to reveal it
