Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37893 — The words of Talq bin Habib

It is narrated from Asim that he said: We said to Talq bin Habib: Tell us about piety (taqwa). He said: Piety is the act of obeying Allah, in hope of His mercy and in the light of His radiance; and piety is the name for leaving disobedience to Allah out of fear of Allah, because of the light from Allah.
