said:
“If a person prays in public and does it well, and he prays in
secret and does it well, then Allah says: ‘This man is truly My
slave.’”

It was
narrated from Abu Sa’d bin Abu Fadalah Al-Ansari, who was one
of
the Companions, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When Allah
assembles the first and the last on the Day of Resurrection, a day
concerning which there is no doubt, a caller will cry out: ‘Whoever
used to associate anyone else in an action that he did for Allah, let
him seek his reward from someone other than Allah, for Allah is so
self-sufficient that He has no need of any associate.’”
It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
came
out to us when we were discussing Dajjal (False Christ) and said:
‘Shall I not tell you of that which I fear more for you than
Dajjal?’
We said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Hidden polytheism, when a
man stands to pray
and makes it look good because he sees a man
looking at him.’”
It was
narrated from Shaddad bin Aws that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
“The thing that I fear most for my nation is associating
others
with Allah. I do not say that they will worship the sun or the
moon
or idols, but deeds done for the sake of anyone other than Allah,
and
hidden desires.”

in accordance with it and teaches it (to others).”
