Hadith on Zeal: Success whose energy for Islam is sincere, moderate

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, everything has a zeal, and every zeal has a timelimit. Whoever does so properly and moderately, then hope for his success. Whoever does so for people to point at him, do not count him among the righteous.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شِرَّةً وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةً فَإِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُهَا سَدَّدَ وَقَارَبَ فَارْجُوهُ وَإِنْ أُشِيرَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ فَلَا تَعُدُّوهُ
