"مَنْ أَحْسَنَ الصَّلاةَ حَيثُ يَراهُ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ أَسَاءَها حَيثُ يَخْلُو فَتِلْكَ اسْتِهَانَةٌ، اسْتَهَانَ بِهَا رَبَّهُ".

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whoever performs the prayer in the best manner in the sight of the people but corrupts it in private, then that is a form of hypocrisy by which he belittles his Lord."

البيهقي:٣٥٨٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ هُوَ ابْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ثنا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ يَعْنِي الْجُعْفِيَّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِي الْهَجَرِيَّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ الصَّلَاةَ حَيْثُ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ وَأَسَاءَهَا حَيْثُ يَخْلُو فَتِلْكَ اسْتِهَانَةٌ يَسْتَهِينُ بِهَا رَبَّهُ
