- ʿAbd Allāh related to us; my father related to us; Abū Muʿāwiyah related to us; Layth narrated—from ʿUthmān, from Abū al-ʿĀliyah—who said:
“The Companions of Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said to me: ‘O Abū al-ʿĀliyah, do not perform any deed for anyone other than Allah, lest Allah hand you over to the one for whom you performed it.’”
٢٣٥ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ: «يَا أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ، لَا تَعْمَلْ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il – فَيَكِلَكَ اللَّهُ – Exalté soit-Il – إِلَى مَنْ عَمِلْتَ لَهُ»
