Ibn al-Qayyim reported: Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad said, “Allah purifies good deeds and makes them correct. Indeed, if deeds are sincere and incorrect, they will not be accepted. If deeds are correct and insincere, they will not be accepted, but rather they are only accepted if they are both sincere and correct. Sincere means they are done for Allah alone and correct means they are done according to the Sunnah.” Then, Fudayl recited the verse, “So whoever hopes in the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none in the worship of his Lord.” (18:110)

عن ابن القيم قَالَ الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ رحمه الله هُوَ أَخْلُصُ الْعَمَلِ وَأَصْوَبُهُ فَقَالَ إنَّ الْعَمَلَ إذَا كَانَ خَالِصًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَوَابًا لَمْ يُقْبَلْ وَإِذَا كَانَ صَوَابًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خَالِصًا لَمْ يُقْبَلْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ خَالِصًا صَوَابًا فَالْخَالِصُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّوَابُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَى السُّنَّةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قَوْلَهُ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا
