عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إنَّ أخْوَفَ ما أخافُ عليكم الشِّركُ الأصْغَرُ»، قالوا: وما الشِّركُ الأصْغَرُ يا رسولَ اللهِ؟ قال: «الرِّياءُ؛ يقولُ اللهُ - عزَّ وجلَّ - لهم يومَ القِيامةِ إذا جُزِيَ الناسُ بأعمالِهم: اذْهَبوا إلى الذين كنتُم تُراؤون في الدُّنيا، فانظُروا هل تَجِدون عِندَهُم جزاءً؟!»

Maḥmūd ibn Labīd narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:

1. The thing I fear for you most is the lesser idolatry. 2. People said: What is the lesser idolatry, Messenger of God? 3. He said: Dissimulation. 4. When mankind are given the reward for their deeds on the Day of Judgement, God, Mighty and Exalted, will say to them: 5. Go to those for whom you dissimulated during your lives and find out whether they have some reward for you.
