Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurara from one of the Imams (a.s.) who has said the following: “The angel writes down only what he hears and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘Speak of your Lord deep within yourselves, humbly and privately....’ (7:205) Thus, no one knows the reward for that act (of speaking deep within oneself) of Allah except Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, due to His greatness.’” حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (12/141))
