 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 (rah) 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 (a.s.) 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.”

 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ عَمِلَ لِلنَّاسِ کَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَی النَّاسِ إِنَّ کان [کُلَ] رِیَاءٍ شِرْکٌ. وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ مَنْ عَمِلَ لِی وَ لِغَیْرِی فَهُوَ لِمَنْ عَمِلَ لَهُ.

2.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “One who performs a good deed for the sake of people, his outcome is along with those people  only.  Surely  every  showoff  is  polytheism.  The Almighty Allah says: One who performs a good deed for Me as well as for others he has done it for others and not for Me.”
