الشُّهرَةُ المَذمومَةُ Blameworthy Fame

3ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): بِحَسْبِ المَرءِ مِن الشَّرِّ ـ إلّا مَن عَصَمَهُ اللّه‏ُ مِن السُّوءِ ـ أن يُشِيرَ الناسُ إلَيهِ بالأصابِعِ في دِينِهِ ودُنياهُ.

3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘It is bad enough for a man - except for one whom Allah protects from evil - that people should point the finger at him with regard to either his faith or his worldly affairs.’[Sharhe Nahj al-Balagha li Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v. 2, p. 181]
 

4ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ما مِن عَبدٍ يُرِيدُ أن يَرتَفِعَ فِي الدُّنيا دَرَجةً ، فَارتَفَعَ فِي الدُّنيا دَرَجةً ، إلّا وَضَعَهُ اللّه‏ُ فِي الآخِرَةِ دَرَجَةً أكبَرَ مِنها وأطوَلَ.

4– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Every single servant who desires to raise his own status in this world, Allah abases his status in the Hereafter by a greater and longer extent.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 6144]
 

5ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في صفةِ المؤمنِ ـ: لا يَرغَبُ في عِزِّ الدُّنيا ولا يَجزَعُ مِن ذُلِّها ، لِلناسِ هَمٌّ قد أقبَلُوا علَيهِ، ولَهُ هَمٌّ قد شَغَلَهُ.

5– Imam al-Sadiq (AS), in his description of a believer, said, ‘He neither desires repute in this world, nor does he grieve at its disgrace. People have their own matters of significance that they tend to, whilst he occupies himself with his own concerns.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 67, p. 271, no. 3]
