The Similtude Of Good Actions.

      As-Salaam alaikum,    Imam Abu Bakr Waasiti, may Allah be Merciful to him, has mentioned that a good action is like fine glass. Just a little heedlessness will cause it to shatter, where after it will be irreparable. In the same way, good actions are shattered by ostentation and boastfulness, thus it will not accrue any reward. 
  NOTE : When a person senses any show or ostentation in a deed/work he does, he should try to his level best to eradicate it. If it cannot be eradicated, he should not abandon the action /deed, but seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala, who could grant him the ability to be sincere... here, we may cite an incident where a servant doubted his Sincerity after constructing an inn for travelers.
Someone told him in a dream that even if his action was insincere, the du'as of the travelers who will benefit from this noble action will surely be sincere and accepted in your favor. He became extremely pleased and satisfied with this statement.
