It is reported that Umar b. Al-Khattab – Allah be pleased with him – said:
"We were once in a time when we did not think anyone learned the Quran seeking anything but Allah the Exalted, but now I fear there are men who learn it and intend the people and what they can get from them. So seek Allah with your recitation and deeds. For verily, we used to know you when Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) was amongst us, when revelation would descend and Allah would tell us about you. As for today, Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) has passed on, and the revelations has stopped; and I only know you as I say: whoever shows what is good, we love him for it and think good of him, and whoever shows what is evil, we hate him for it and suspect him. Your secret and private matters are between you and your Lord the Mighty and Majestic."
