“If a person prays in public and does it well, and he prays in secret and does it well, then Allah says: ‘This man is truly My slave.’”  

ابن ماجة:٤٢٠٠ – حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ بْنِ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ ذَكْوَانَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْعَلاَنِيَةِ فَأَحْسَنَ وَصَلَّى فِي السِّرِّ فَأَحْسَنَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ هَذَا عَبْدِي حَقًّا
