وَمَغْفِرَةٌ

There are several Hadiths that prohibit reminding people of acts of charity. For instance, Muslim recorded that Abu Dharr said that the Messenger of Allah said,
ثَلَثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِم وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
الْمَنَّانُ بِمَا أَعْطَى
وَالْمُسْبِلُ إِزَارَهُ
وَالْمُنَفِّقُ سِلْعَتَهُ بِالْحَلِفِ الْكَاذِب
Three persons whom Allah shall neither speak to on the Day of Resurrection nor look at nor purify, and they shall receive a painful torment:
he who reminds (the people) of what he gives away,
he who lengthens his clothes below the ankles and
he who swears an oath while lying, to sell his merchandise.
