Showing off, Hypocrisy, Self-Admiration, and Conceit

9.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Faḍālah ibn Jamīl who said, “I asked Abā ʿAbdillāh عليه السلام about the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: Do not assert your own virtue. He knows best who is truly virtuous (Q53:32). So he said, ‘It is when a person says: I prayed last night, and I fasted yesterday, and other statements such as these.’ Then he عليه السلام said, ‘There were some people who would say in the mornings, “We prayed last night and we fasted yesterday,” so ʿAlī عليه السلام said, “But as for me, I sleep at night and in the day, and were I to find between them any other time, I would have slept in it as well.”’” [1]
