Warning against minor shirk, i.e. showing-off and exhibitionism
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, the thing I fear the most for you is minor shirk" They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what is minor shirk?" He said: "It is showing off. On the Day of Judgment, when people are rewarded for their deeds, Allah will say to them: 'Go to those whom you used to show off to in the world and see if you can find any reward with them.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمُ الشِّرْكُ الْأَصْغَرُ قَالُوا وَمَا الشِّرْكُ الْأَصْغَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الرِّيَاءُ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِذَا جُزِيَ النَّاسُ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ اذْهَبُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تُرَاءُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَانْظُرُوا هَلْ تَجِدُونَ عِنْدَهُمْ جَزَاءً
