الْقُلُوبُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَيُسَمَّى أَيْضًا شِرْكَ السَّرَائِرِ وَهَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي بَيَّنَهُ اللَّهُ بِقَوْلِهِ: يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ، لِأَنَّ الْحِسَابَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى السَّرَائِرِ

hearts except Allah, and it is also called the shirk of inner secrets, and this is what Allah clarified by His saying: 'The Day when secrets will be put to trial,' because the reckoning on the Day of Resurrection will be based on inner secrets.

قَالَ تَعَالَى: أَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ وَحُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ، وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ الصَّحِيحِ: فِيمَنْ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَا يَفْعَلُهُ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيَفْعَلُهُ أَنَّهُ يُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ حَتَّى تَنْدَلِقَ أَقْتَابُ بَطْنِهِ فَيَدُورُ عَلَيْهَا كَمَا يَدُورُ الْحِمَارُ بِرَحَاهُ فَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ النَّارِ فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ فَيُخْبِرُهُمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَا يَفْعَلُهُ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيَفْعَلُهُ.

The Almighty said: 'But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are poured forth, and that which is in the breasts is brought out?' And in the authentic hadith regarding the one who used to enjoin good but not do it, and forbid evil but do it, it is stated that he will be cast into the Fire until his intestines spill out, and he will revolve around them just as a donkey revolves around its millstone, and the people of the Fire will gather around him and ask him, and he will inform them that he used to enjoin good but not do it, and forbid evil but do it.

قَوْلُهُ: يَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُصَلِّي فَيُزَيِّنُ صَلَاتَهُ يَتَسَاوَى فِي ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالتَّخْصِيصُ هُنَا يُسَمَّى مَفْهُومَ اللَّقَبِ: أَيْ أَنَّ الْحُكْمَ يُعَلَّقُ بِمَا هُوَ أَشْرَفُ لَا لِقَصْدِ التَّخْصِيصِ وَلَكِنْ لِضَرْبِ الْمَثَلِ.

His saying: 'A man stands and prays, and he beautifies his prayer,' applies equally to both men and women, and the specification here is called the 'concept of the title' (mafhum al-laqab), meaning that the ruling is attached to what is most prominent, not for the purpose of restriction, but for the sake of providing an example.
