Avoid functions whose sole purpose is ostentation
1996 5-6 May-June 21 Avoid functions whose sole purpose is ostentation (59) Invited to a feast, Umer ibn Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan were on their way there, when Umer said to Uthman: “We have accepted this invitation, but I would prefer not to be going.” “Why is that?” asked Uthman. “I am afraid it is all just for show,” said Umer – meaning the invitation they had been given. (Ahmad, Musnad)
