Love of Fame & Praise


قال الذهبي: "ينبغي للعالم أن يتكلم بنية و حسن قصد، فإن أعجبه كلامه فليصمت، فإن أعجبه الصمت فلينطق، ولا يفتر عن محاسبة نفسه، فإنها تحب الظهور والثناء.

Al-āfial-Dhahabī (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) stated:

“The person of knowledge should speak with a good and sincere intent. If his speech amazes him, he should remain quiet. If remaining quiet amazes him, he should speak, and he should never cease examining his soul, for indeed it loves fame and praise.”*

*Siyar A’lām al-Nubalā (4/494)
