4207. It was narrated from Jundab that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever wants to be heard of, Allāh will make him heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allāh will show him (i.e., expose his real motives)." (Sahih)

Arabic text

4207 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ يُرَاءِ يُرَاءِ اللَّهُ بِهِ، وَمَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ»

Commentary

A pretender who does good deeds for mere show to gain the reputation as being pious and to be respected and admired, Allāh will disclose his evil intention to people, and as a result, he will be insulted and disrespected.
