In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that a man asked the Prophet (a.s) to teach him something by which God will love him from the heavens and the people will love him from the Earth. The Prophet (a.s) said
“Fear what is near God, so that God loves you, and be abstinent regarding what is near the people so that the people love you.”
من كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال رجل للنبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا رسول الله علمني شيئا إذا أنا فعلته أحبني الله من السماء وأحبني الناس من الأرض، فقال له: إرغب فيما عند الله عز وجل يحبك الله، وازهد فيما عند الناس يحبك الناس.
