then let a person think about those who are mentioned with good or bad does that increase his status with allah the most high or gain him a virtue that he did not possess through his actions during his life? if this is as we said then the desire for mention is a desire for vanity and it has no meaning or benefit at all. rather the wise person should desire to increase the virtues and righteous deeds that deserve the one who is mentioned in them with good mention praise goodness commendation and a praiseworthy attribute for they are what bring him closer to his creator the most high and make him mentioned with him the mighty and majestic with mention that benefits him and obtains the permanence of its benefit and does not perish forever and allah is the grantor of success.
ثم ليتفكر الإنسان فيمن ذكر بخير أو بشر، هل يزيده ذلك عند الله تعالى درجة أو يكسبه فضيلة لم يكن حازها بفعله أيام حياته. فإذا هذا كما قلنا فالرغبة في الذكر رغبة في غرور ، ولا معنى له ولا فائدة فيه أصلا، لكن إنما ينبغي ان يرغب العاقل في الاستكثار من الفضائل وأعمال البر التي يستحق من هي فيه الذكر الجميل والثناء والحسن والمدح وحميد الصفة، فهي التي تقربه من بارئه تعالى وتجعله مذكورا عنده عز وجل الذكر الذي ينفعه ويحصل على بقاء فائدته ولا يبيد أبد الأبد، وبالله الوفيق.
