Malamatiyya

The Malamatiyya, or Malamatis, were an early Muslim mystical movement active in ninth century Greater Khorasan. They held that piety should be a private matter and that being held in good esteem by others leads to worldly attachment, so a Malamati concealed his own good deeds and let his faults be known rather than build a reputation for holiness.
