4225. It was narrated from Abu Dharr: "I said to the Prophet ﷺ: (What do you say about when) a man does a deed for the sake of Allāh, and people love him for it? He said: 'That is the immediate glad tidings of the believer.'" (Sahih)
4225 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ لِلَّهِ، فَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: «ذَلِكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ»

While doing a good deed, one should not intend to get a reputation and respect due to it. However, a believer gets the reward of his good deed and respect in this life, as well as in Hereafter. People's love for a good believer is a favor of Allāh upon him. So, he should be grateful to Allāh, and protect himself from the feelings of pride and ostentation.
