Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Almighty Allah says, 'I am the One Who is most free from want of partners. He who does a thing for the sake of someone else beside Me, I discard him and his polytheism.." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
قال الله تعالى: أنا أغنى الشركاء عن الشرك، من عمل عملا أشرك فيه معي غيري، تركته وشركه

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) One of the forms of Shirk is when one’s acts of worship are tarnished with ostentation.<br>
2) Ostentation is dispraised and strictly warned of because it is minor Shirk that leads to falling into major Shirk that Allah Almighty does not forgive.
