1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “What will have salvation on the Day of Judgment?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) replied, “Salvation is only and only in not cheating Allah so that He also doesn’t cheat you. Surely Allah cheats a person who cheats Him and takes faith away from him. A person should know that he has cheated himself.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was asked, “How does a person cheat Allah?” He answered, “By obeying the order of Allah but for the sake of someone else. Keep away from showoff because it is polytheism. Surely, a person who does showoff will be called with four names on the Day of Judgment viz. O disbeliever, O mischief-monger, O cunning, O loser! Your deeds are wasted. Your reward was reduced continuously and there is nothing left for you today. Go and ask for the reward from one for whom you performed good deeds.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مَسْعَدَهَ بْنِ زِیَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سُئِلَ فِیمَ النَّجَاهُ غَداً قَالَ إِنَّمَا النَّجَاهُ فِی أَنْ لَا تُخَادِعُوا اللَّهَ فَیَخْدَعَکُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ یُخَادِعِ اللَّهَ یَخْدَعْهُ وَ یَنْزِعْ مِنْهُ الْإِیمَانَ وَ نَفْسَهُ تخدع [یَخْدَعُ] و لَوْ بشعره [یَشْعُرُ] قِیلَ لَهُ فَکَیْفَ یُخَادِعُ اللَّهَ قَالَ یَعْمَلُ بهما [بِمَا] أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَّ یُرِیدُ بِهِ غَیْرَهُ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِی الرِّیَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ الشِّرْکُ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُرَائِیَ یُدْعَی یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ بِأَرْبَعَهِ أَسْمَاءٍ یَا کَافِرُ یَا فَاجِرُ یَا غَادِرُ یَا خَاسِرُ حَبِطَ عَمَلُکَ وَ بَطَلَ أَجْرُکَ فَلَا خَلَاصَ لَکَ الْیَوْمَ فَالْتَمِسْ أَجْرَکَ مِمَّنْ کُنْتَ تَعْمَلُ لَهُ.
