La Vertu de Donner la Charité en Secret

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Mirdas from Safwan ibn Yahya’ and al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from ‘Ammar al-Sabatiy who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to me, ‘O ‘Ammar, giving charity, by Allah, out of public sight, is more virtuous than giving charity publicly. In the same way, worshipping Allah out of public sight is more virtuous than worshipping Him in public.’ ”

"Ô 'Ammar, je jure par Allah, la charité en secret est meilleure que la charité publique, de même, je jure par Allah, le culte en secret est meilleur que le culte public."
