The Fear of Fame: A Lost Characteristic
The scholars and the righteous of this Ummah always feared fame and
becoming well-known amongst the people. They would dislike for their
name to be mentioned much and you can see one of them fleeing from the
people as if they were a fitnah (trial), whilst at other times you can
see one get up and leave the circle of knowledge which he was
conducting because the numbers became too many.
