firmed (Hell).” I asked Umar, “O chief of the believers! What has been affirmed?” He said, “I have said

People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Al –

you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we
will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that;
but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his
intentions were good.
