Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man said,“O Messenger of Allah! A person performs a deed and keeps it hidden, but when his deed becomes known, should he like that?”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Such a person will receive two rewards: one for keeping it hidden and one for it becoming known. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The wording of the narration is:“Indeed, a person performs a deed, and he likes it, and when it becomes known, this thing pleases him.”Its meaning is: A man is pleased that Allah Almighty granted him the ability to do that deed, because it is possible that others may follow him in this matter. So, when this is the situation, he will receive two kinds of reward. But when a man is pleased so that people will honor him or incline towards him, this is a kind of showing off (riya), and such a person will not receive double reward, rather he will not receive even a single reward.
