8.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Yazīd ibn Khalīfah who said
“I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, ‘Whoever does a deed for [the sake of] Allah, his reward is upon Allah, and whoever does a deed for [praise from] the people, his reward is upon the people. Verily every act done to show off is [a form of] polytheism.’”
محمد بن سنان عن يزيد بن خليفة قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: من عمل لله كان ثوابه على الله ومن عمل للناس كان ثوابه على الناس ان كل رياء شرك
