12.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from al-Qāsim ibn Sulaymān, from Jarrāḥ al-Madāʾinī, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said regarding the verse wherein Allah, the Exalted, says: …and does not associate anyone in the worship of his Lord (Q18:110)
“It is [a warning to] the servant who performs an act of worship without seeking the pleasure of Allah; rather, he only seeks the commendation of people [for his piety] through which he desires renown. That is the one who associates others in the worship of his Lord.” Then he added, “There is no servant who hides a good [deed] and days go by, but that Allah manifests good for him and there is no servant who hides an evil [deed] and days pass, but that Allah will manifest evil for him.”
النضر بن سويد عن القاسم بن سليمان عن جراح المدائني عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله تعالى: (ولا يشرك بعبادة ربه أحدا) قال
هو العبد يعمل شيئا من الطاعات لا يطلب به وجه الله إنما يطلب تزكية الناس يشتهى أن يسمع به فهذا الذي أشرك بعبادة ربه وقال: ما من عبد أسر خيرا فتذهب الأيام حتى يظهر الله له خيرا وما من عبد أسر شرا فتذهب الأيام حتى يظهر الله له شرا
