Arabic text

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

Translation

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.”
