Fame

When Allah loves a servant of His from among my community, He radiates love for him into the hearts of His elite servants, the spirits of the angels and the retinue of His throne, in order that they too may love him, and that is one who is truly loved.

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  إذا أحَبَّ اللَّهُ عَبداً مِن اُمَّتِي قَذَفَ في قُلوبِ أصفِيائهِ وأرواحِ ملائكَتِهِ وسُكّانِ عَرشِهِ مَحَبَّتَهُ لِيُحِبُّوهُ ، فذلكَ المُحَبُّ حقّاً . بحار الأنوار : 70 / 24 / 23 .

 The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘When Allah loves a servant of His from among my community, He radiates love for him into the hearts of His elite servants, the spirits of the angels and the retinue of His throne, in order that they too may love him, and that is one who is truly loved.’ Bihar al-Anwar, v. 70, p. 24, no. 23

رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله :  بِحَسْبِ المَرءِ مِن الشَّرِّ - إلّا مَن عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ مِن السُّوءِ - أن يُشِيرَ الناسُ إلَيهِ بالأصابِعِ في دِينِهِ ودُنياهُ . شرح نهج البلاغة : 2 / 181 .

 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.’ Sharh Nahj al-Balagha li Ibn Abi al-Hadid, v. 2, p. 181
