٤٥۔ كتاب البر والصلة والآداب
It was said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is your opinion about the person who has done good deeds and the people praise him? He said: It is glad tidings for a believer (which he has received in this mortal world).
قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَيَحْمَدُهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ
" People love him." In the hadith transmitted on the authority of 'Abd-us-Samad (the words are):" People praise him as stated by Hammad."
عَنْ شُعْبَةَ غَيْرَ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ وَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ وَيَحْمَدُهُ النَّاسُ كَمَا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ
