Hadith.1736 - Ammar narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said
to me: "O Ammar, charity given in secret, by Allah (swt), is better than charity given openly, and likewise, by Allah (swt), worship in secret is better than worship in public."
1736 - وَ رَوَى عَمَّارٌ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي: «يَا عَمَّارُ اَلصَّدَقَةُ وَ اَللَّهِ فِي اَلسِّرِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلصَّدَقَةِ فِي اَلْعَلاَنِيَةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ وَ اَللَّهِ اَلْعِبَادَةُ فِي اَلسِّرِّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ اَلْعِبَادَةِ فِي اَلْعَلاَنِيَةِ ».
