Ibn Al-Jawzi, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
By Allāh, I have seen one who is abundant in praying, fasting
much, often staying silent, [one who] shows humility in himself and in his
dress. Yet, the hearts [of people] turn away from him, and his status amongst
them is not all that! And I have seen one who attires himself in luxurious
clothes, does not have a lot of voluntary acts [of worship], nor does he make a
show of humility, yet the hearts go one after the other in feeling love for
him.
So I reflected on the cause [of this], and then I realised
it was what people keep hidden from others [that Allāh knows].
Ibn Al-Jawzī, Ṣayd
Al-Khāṭir. Dār Ibn
Al-Khuzaimah.
