2383. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Seek refuge in Allāh from the Pit of Sorrows." They said: "O Messenger of Allāh! What is the Pit of Sorrows?" He said: "A gorge in Hell from which Hell seeks Allāh's refuge a hundred times every day." It was said: "O Messenger of Allāh! Who shall enter it?" He said: "The reciters who were showing off with their deeds." (Da'if)

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ has used the word Qurrā'ūn which could either mean the people constant in their prayers or those who excel in the recitation and knowledge of the Qur'ān. If they do it in order to make a show of their acts, they would be thrown in those dark pits of Fire from which even Hell repeatedly seeks protection from Allāh. May Allāh keep us from showing off and hypocrisy!
