It is narrated from Hazrat Shahr bin Hawshab that he says: A man came to Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: A man offers prayer for the pleasure of Allah and likes that he be praised for it. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This deed is of no (value). The command of Allah is: I am the best of partners. So, whoever associates someone with Me, then all of it is for him. I have no need of it.
