Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (r. a), one of the prophet's companions promised while still on earth used to concealed his acts of good deeds. Yes. Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (r.a) did not like to reveal his acts and said *‘If anyone can conceal their righteous deeds, please do so’*

My people!

This emphasises that when you perform a good deed, it does not need to be revealed unless necessary.

On the above subject, the Prophet ﷺ said:

*"Whoever among you can have hidden deeds of righteousness, let him do so"*.📚 [Reported by Al-Khatib in At-Tarikh (11/263) and authenticated by Al-Albani in As-Sahihah (2313)].

Also, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

*"Good deeds protect one from bad endings, secret charity extinguishes the anger of the Lord, and maintaining family ties increases lifespan"*. [Reported by At-Tabarani in Al-Awsat (943) and authenticated by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami’ 3797].

Furthermore,

The Prophet ﷺ informed us about three whom Allah, the Exalted, loves:

*"A man who came to some people and asked them for the sake of Allah, and he did not ask them due to any relationship between him and them, but they refused him. Then one of them gave him secretly so that only Allah and the one whom he gave knew about it. And a group who traveled all night until sleep became more beloved to them than anything equal to it, then they stopped and placed their heads down, but one of them stood up and prayed to Me and recited My verses. And a man who was in a small troop that engaged the adversary and they were defeated. But he engaged the adversary until he was overcome or victorious"*. 📚[Ahmad 21355,  Grade: Sahih (Arnaout)]

My people!

The righteous predecessors went to great lengths to conceal their good deeds and acts of worship. 

In fact,

They used to conceal their humility and weeping for the sake of Allah. Muhammad bin Wasi’ said that there were men who would stand in prayer, and their tears would run down their cheeks, and the person besides them wouldn’t even notice it. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that a man would sit in a gathering, and when tears would come to him, he would hold them back. If he feared they might overcome him, he would stand up. When Amr bin Qais would become overcome with emotion, he would turn his face to the wall and say to his companions, “What is this cold?” Hassan bin Abi Sinan used to attend Malik bin Dinar’s mosque, and when Malik spoke, Hassan would cry until the area before him became wet, but no sound was heard from him.

Are you surprised?

There was a righteous predecessors who concealed his fasting. Yes. Ibn Abi Adi said that Dawud bin Abi Hind fasted for forty years without his family knowing. He used to take his lunch with him from home. He would give it away as charity on the way, and then return home in the evening to break his fast with his family.
