مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْقَلِيلِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ، أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ‏ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَرَادَ؛ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ النَّاسَ بِالْكَثِيرِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ‏ فِي تَعَبٍ مِنْ‏ بَدَنِهِ وَ سَهَرٍ مِنْ لَيْلِهِ‏، أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقَلِّلَهُ فِي عَيْنِ مَنْ سَمِعَه.

One who seeks Allah, Mighty and Exalted, with few good deeds, Allah will count his few deeds as abundant [in terms of the reward] . And one who seeks people['s approval and admiration] with a great deal of deeds, exhausting his body and keeping vigil at night, Allah will make his abundant deeds seem insignificant in the eyes of those who hear about them.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
