“I am too embarrassed to worship my Lord out of hope of the reward of the Garden, like a worker who only works if he is paid his wage, otherwise he does not. And I am too embarrassed to worship my Lord out of fear of the Fire, like a bad slave who only works when he is afraid, and if he does not fear, he does not work.”’ Ibn Ḥayyuwayh said, ‘But I worship Him as is His right.’ (Abū Isḥāq al-Khuttalī in Maḥabbah 88).
