Even self-sacrifice is of no value without total sincerity

1988 4 April 23 Even self-sacrifice is of no value without total sincerity: (66) A certain Muslim participated in the Battle of Uhud (3AH) and died fighting. When his mother learnt of the death, she cried out for her “martyred” son. “Hold your peace,” the Prophet told her. How do you know that he has been martyred? He used to indulge in vain talk and was miserly with things that it would have done him no harm to give away.
