In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“Any form of hypocrisy is polytheism. Whoever works for the people should demand his reward from the people, and whoever works for God, his reward is given by God.”
من كتاب المحاسن: قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): كل رياء شرك، إنه من عمل للناس كان ثوابه على الناس، ومن عمل لله كان ثوابه على الله.
