1. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Muhammed bin Abi Umayr, from Abdullah bin Sinan, that he said: We were sitting in the place of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, as a man from the sitting said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, O son of Allah’s Messenger, do you fear for me that I am a hypocrite? So he said to him: If you are alone in your house at day or at night, do you pray? So he said: Sure. Then he said: So who do you pray to? He said: To Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He. He said: Then how can you be a hypocrite while you pray to Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, not to others?
