18ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : إنَّ لِكُلِّ حَقٍّ حَقيقةً ، وما بَلغَ عَبدٌ حقيقةَ الإخْلاصِ حتّى لا يُحِبَّ أنْ يُحْمَدَ على شيءٍ مِن عَمَلٍ للّهِ. |

19ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : العِبادَةُ الخالِصَةُ أنْ لا يَرجوَ الرّجُلُ إلّا رَبَّهُ ، ولا يَخافَ إلّا ذَنْبَهُ. |
| 19– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Pure worship is that a man does not hope for anything except his Lord and does not fear anything except [the outcome of] his sin.’[Ghurar al-Hikam, no. 2128] |

20ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : العَمَلُ الخالِصُ : الّذي لا تُريدُ أنْ يَحْمَدَكَ علَيهِ أحَدٌ إلّا اللّهُ عزّوجلّ. |
| 20– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The pure action [done out of sincerity], is that which the servant does not wish to be praised for by anyone except Allah – Mighty and Exalted.’[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 16, no. 4] |
