Muhammad ibn Harun narrated to us, saying: Abu al-Mughira ʿAbd al-Quddus narrated to us, saying: Safwan ibn ʿAmr narrated to us, from Khalid ibn Maʿdan, who said:

He was asked, “Do you know what niyya (intention) is?” He replied, “I do not know niyya, but I do know warʿ (scrupulous piety). Whoever is warʿ is truly God-fearing.”
