The Case of those who Displease the Creator to Please the Creatures
3- وَبِهَذَا الإسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَنْ طَلَبَ مَرْضَاةَ النَّاسِ بِمَا يُسْخِطُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَانَ حَامِدُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ذَامّاً.
3. The narrator of the previous Hadith through his chain of narrators has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, Those who seek to please people by means of things that displease Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, people praising him turn to blame him.’”
