Abu 'Uthman: 

'Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام once prayed on top of a mountain when Iblis came to him and said, "You are the one who claims that everything happens by predestination and divine decree?"

He replied, "Yes."

Iblis said, "Then throw yourself off this mountain and say: 'It was decreed for me'.

He replied, "Oh cursed one! Verily, it is Allah who tests His slaves and it is not for the slave to test Allah!"

Praise can be a Test.

Dislike being praised. Praise is dangerous, it creeps into your heart and poisons your ikhlas without you even realizing. Dont seek it, dont enjoy it, and dont let it grow. When people praise you, remind yourself:

“These are not my virtues. Whatever good they see in me is nothing but the favour of Allah. And what they don’t see, my faults, are only hidden by His mercy.”

Dont be fooled by kind words. Had Allah exposed even a glimpse of your inner self, the very people who praise you would turn away in disgust. What they admire is not you, its what Allah has concealed.

So when praise comes your way, dont smile in pride, tremble in gratitude. Not because people think highly of you, but because your reality is still veiled.

Stay humble. Stay hidden. Seek acceptance from Allah, not from people.

For the one that has been praised

اللهمَّ لا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِما يَقُولُونَ، وَاغْفِرْلي مَا لاَ يَعْلَمون، وَاجْعَلْنِي خَيْرًا مِمَّا يَظُنُّونَ

Oh Allah, do not call me to account for what they say, forgive me for what they have no knowledge of, make me better than they imagine.

Prophet ﷺ said: "I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners."

Brothers, your wife is more deserving of your nice manners and gentle behavior than the ladies in your office.

Sisters, your husband is more deserving of respect than your online Ustaz.

Everyone behaves nicely with strangers. Why don't we do the same at home?

That would really solve a lot of problems. We somehow take people close to us for granted. Please don't.

The danger of speaking without knowledge

’Uqbah bin Muslim said: For 34 years I kept Ibn ’Umar’s company and he used to often say ”I don’t know” (when he was asked about anything).

Whereupon he would turn towards me and say: ”Do you know what these people want? They want to make our backs bridges into the Hellfire (by speaking about Islam without knowledge)!
