Carrying out good deeds for show and ostentation will be a cause of disgrace on the Day of Qiyamah

Is this Hadith authentic?

Sayyiduna Abu Hind Ad Dari (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that he heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) say:

“The one who carries out any task with the intention of show and ostentation, Allah will disgrace him on the day of Qiyamah.”

Answer:

Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah) and other Muhaddithun have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hind Ad Dari (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 5 pg. 270)

‘Allamah Mundhiri (rahimahullah) has declared the chain of Musnad Ahmad authentic (jayyid) and ‘Allamah Haythami (rahimahullah) has declared the narrators reliable (rijalus sahih).

(Targhib, vol. 1 pg. 65, Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 10 pg. 223)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
