Among the negative traits of the soul is counting the favours one does to others. This undoubtedly cancels the reward one could have obtained if they acted sincerely for the pleasure of Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 264:
“O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders [of it] or injury…”
If one acts for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, they should seek reward from Him and no one else otherwise, they will be left empty handed on Judgment Day. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 3154. The source of everything one gives to others is Allah, the Exalted. He is the Creator and real Owner of every blessing so a person should never take pride in helping others when the source of the help is Allah, the Exalted, alone.
Among the negative traits of the soul is always desiring and striving to have fun in the world. The one who is always in a joking mood will dislike and avoid discussing and acting on serious issues, such as preparing for death. This person will fail to prepare for the hereafter because of this attitude and therefore they will reach the next world empty handed. It is acceptable to be in a good mood but this should never prevent one from concentrating on serious issues. It why the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned in a Hadith, found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2305, that too much laughter kills the spiritual heart.
