Punishment of including the pleasure of people with the pleasure of Allah while performing a good deed
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْحَلَبِیِّ عَنْ زُرَارَهَ وَ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَمِلَ عَمَلًا یَطْلُبُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَهَ فَأَدْخَلَ فِیهِ رِضَی أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ کَانَ مُشْرِکاً.
1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from al-Muffadhal b. Salih from Muhammad b. Ali al-Halabi from Zurarah and Hamran from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام who said: “If a servant performs a good deed for the sake of pleasure of Allah and for hereafter and if he includes the pleasure of people in it, he is a polytheist.”
