I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever gains the Pleasure of Allah by the anger of the people (ie: thereby gains their anger), Allah suffices him of the people’s troubles. فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنِ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا اللَّهِ بِسَخَطِ النَّاسِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ مُؤْنَةَ النَّاسِ،
And whoever gains the pleasure of the people by the Anger of Allah (ie: in the process he gains His Anger), then Allah leaves him to the people.” وَمَنِ الْتَمَسَ رِضَا النَّاسِ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَّلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى النَّاسِ»،
Wa-Salāmu ʿalayk.’ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ
