In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Aa’isha [radiyallaahu-anhaa] said: I ask the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) about this Ayah:

[وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ  – And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear] [23:60]; are they those who drink alcohol and commit theft?” He [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ”O daughter of Siddeeq! Rather they are those who observe fasting, perform prayer and give charity, whilst fearing that their deeds will not be accepted from them.” [Reported by Imaam Tirmidee Number: 3175]

Hasan Al-Basri [rahimahullaah] said: ”The believer combines between perfection (in worship) and fear (that his deeds will be rejected); and the hypocrite combines between evil (deeds) and feeling safe from [Allaah’s punishment]” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 1/512]

Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said: ”As for my Ikhlaas, it is weak.” He said: ”We fear Riyaa for ourselves and we are not safe from it; we fear self-amazement for ourselves and we are not safe from it.” [Source: Al-Fataawa Al-Hadeethiyyah.1/ 31]

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Besower of Mercy

”When death approached Amr Bin Qais Al-Malaa’iy (rahimahullaah) he wept; so his companions said to him: ”What makes you weep about the worldly life, for by Allaah you have been modest during your life.” He said: ”By Allaah, I am not weeping over the worldly life, rather I weep fearing that I will be deprived of the goodness of the hereafter.” [[Shu’ab Al-Imaan 1/508]

When a Bedouin heard the saying of Allaah [فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاء وَالأرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ] ”Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak”[Dhaariyaat Ayah: 23]; so he (i.e. the bedouin) said: ”Who angered the Mighty and Majesty so that He made an oath?!” [At-Tawwaabeen: 279]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: A slave (of Allaah) will not (truly actualize the statement) ”you alone we worship (O Allaah)”, except by way of two fundamental principles: The first of them is to follow the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and the second is sincerity to the (only true object) of worship (i.e. Allaah) [source-page: 68تهذيب المدارج ]

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said: ”When a slave (of Allaah) seeks knowledge to act upon it, it withholds him (from evil and guides him towards good). And when he seeks it for other than acting upon it, it increases him in boasting.”
