4202. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh says: 'I am the Most Self-Sufficient and I have no need for an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.'" (Sahih)
4202 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْوَانَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: «أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ، فَمَنْ عَمِلَ لِي عَمَلًا أَشْرَكَ فِيهِ غَيْرِي، فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيءٌ، وَهُوَ لِلَّذِي أَشْرَكَ»

Doing an action for someone else means practicing deeds out of showing off to get some worldly benefit, or to gain people's admiration as being a pious and God-fearing person.
