the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُم when overcome by divine fear would express the wish that if only they had been dust, splinters and birds (so that they wouldn’t have the fear of bad end and punishment in the grave and in the afterlife). If this was the fear of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُم then how can a wise person brag about or be proud of his deeds, and be fearless as regards his Nafs!

When the person (who keeps the divine fear of the blessed companions in his mind) is overwhelmed by this feeling (i.e. the way the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهُم would have fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ), then the fear of the loss of his favour makes him refrain from bragging (and self-importance).
