Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25974a
"لَا يَحْقِرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ نَفْسَهُ أَنْ يَرَى أَمْرًا لله -تَعَالى- عَلْيهِ فِيهِ مَقَالٌ فَلَا يَقُول فِيهِ، فَيَلْقَى الله -تَعالى- وَقَدْ أَضَاعَ ذَلِكَ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ فِيهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ! خَشْيَةُ النَّاسِ، فَيَقُولُ: فَإِيَّاى كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ أَنْ يَخْشَى".

"None of you should belittle himself when he sees a matter in which Allah, the Exalted, has a claim upon him and he has something to say about it, yet he does not speak. Then he meets Allah, the Exalted, having neglected it. Allah will say: 'What prevented you from speaking about it?' He will say: 'O Lord, fear of people.' He will say: 'It was Me that you were more entitled to fear'".
