How to React to Praise?

[August 11, 2022] [Shaykh Irshaad Sedick]/in General, Living Religion, Spirituality, Supplication (Dua)

Answered by Shaykh Irshaad Sedick

Question

What is an appropriate reaction to praise as per the dictates of Sacred Law?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate.

May Allah guide us to that which pleases Him, forgive us for our shortcomings, and alleviate our difficulties, Amin.

When the Companions (Allah be pleased with them) were praised, they would pray to Allah:

.اللَّهمَّ لا تُؤاخِذني بما يقولونَ، واغفِرْ لي ما لا يَعلَمونَ

“Oh, Allah, do not call me to account for what they say and forgive me for what they have no knowledge of (and make me better than they imagine.)”

[Bukhari, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad; Shu’ab Al-Iman]

I pray this is of benefit.
