Acting ‘to be seen of men’
1987 4 April 19 Acting ‘to be seen of men’ (69) Abu Hurayrah reported the Prophet exhorting his followers to seek refuge from the Pit of Grief. He was asked what this Pit of Grief was, and he said it was a gorge in Hell which Hell itself sought refuge from four hundred times a day. The Prophet was then asked who would enter that Pit. “Those scholars who act to be seen of men,” he replied.
