وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْهَجَرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَنْ أَحْسَنَ صَلَاتَهُ حَيْثُ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ وَأَسَاءَهَا إِذَا خَلَا فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ اسْتِهَانَةٌ يَسْتَهِينُ بِهَا رَبَّهُ
