It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, this statement of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And those who give what they give while their hearts are fearful" [Surah al-Mu'minun: 60] , does it refer to the man who commits adultery, steals and drinks wine, and despite that fears Allah, the Mighty and Majestic? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather it refers to the man who fasts, prays and gives charity, and despite that fears Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." The chain of narration of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
