[23] وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ أَعْلَى مَنَازِلِ الْإِيمَانِ دَرَجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مَنْ بَلَغَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَدْ فَازَ وَ ظَفِرَ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ بِسَرِيرَتِهِ فِي الصَّلَاحِ إِلَى أَنْ لَا يُبَالِيَ لَهَا إِذَا ظَهَرَتْ وَ لَا يَخَافَ عِقَابَهَا إِذَا اسْتَتَرَتْ. And Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘The top status of Eman is one rank.
One who reaches to it, so he has succeeded and won, and it is that one ends up with his secrets in the righteousness up to that he no longer cares for it when it is revealed, and he does not fear its consequences when it is concealed’’.
