The Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated an admonitory saying, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not accept any that action in which showing-off is involved even equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed.’ (Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 1, pp. 47, Hadees 54)
And it is stated in another narration that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does not accept any act carried out by a fame-hungry individual, one who shows off [good deeds] and he who keeps indulging in fun & amusement. (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 2, pp. 139, Hadees 1732)

So, keep refraining from showing-off because it is a Shirk-e-Asghar [i.e. hidden polytheism: Association] with Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. On the Day of Judgement he who shows off will be called with four names i.e., O wicked! O deceitful! O disbeliever! O loser! Your deeds came nothing and your
