حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا بَکْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعْ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ يُرَائِ يُرَائِ اللَّهُ بِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4206
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet P.B.U.H said: "Whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him ' heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allah will show him (i.e. make known to the people his true motives and intentions)." (sahih)
