Deeds done in secret

Reference: Sifatus-Safwah – v2 p234

Sufyaan Ibn ‘Uyaynah رحمه الله said:

If [one’s] deeds done in secret are equal to [one’s] deeds done in public, then that is fair.

And if [one’s] deeds done in secret are better than [one’s] deeds done in public, then that is better.

And if [one’s] deeds done in public are better than [one’s] deeds done in secret, then that is unjust.
