قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا إِسْحَاقُ خَفِ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَرَاكَ فَقَدْ كَفَرْتَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَرَاكَ ثُمَّ بَرَزْتَ لَهُ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ فَقَدْ جَعَلْتَهُ مِنْ أَهْوَنِ النَّاظِرِينَ عَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Is’haq! Fear Allah<sup>azwj</sup> as if you can see Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and even although you are not seeing him, but He<sup>saww</sup> (surely) see you. So if you were to think that He<sup>azwj</sup> cannot see you, then you would have (certainly) disbelieved; and if you believe that He<sup>azwj</sup> sees you and you disobey Him<sup>azwj</sup>, so you would have Made Him<sup>azwj</sup> to be from the most insignificant of the onlookers upon you’.
