Al-Fuḍayl ibn ʿIyāḍ (رحمه الله) said:

“If you are able to remain unknown, then do so. What does it matter to you if no one knows you? What does it matter to you if no one praises you? Why should it matter to you if you are criticized by the people, so long as you are considered praiseworthy by Allah ﷻ?”

[At-Tawāḍuʿ wal-Khumūl, p. 43]
