Would a person be considered a "braggart" if he reminded another of a good deed between them to counter an accusation of not doing good, especially after that other person wronged him and did not apologize?

The answer

The blameworthy mann (reproachful reminder of a favor) is the mention of a blessing or good deed to make the recipient feel indebted or to reprimand them, and it invalidates charities. However, mann is permissible when there is a need for it, such as with someone who denies a blessing or good deed, or to remind someone who needs it so they do not fall into something forbidden. Therefore, reminding a person who denies kindness and repays it with ingratitude and abuse is permissible, and it does not fall under the forbidden mann.
