A man prayed and his intention was for Allah, then showing off (riya') occurred

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man prayed and his intention was for Allah, but then he became aware of people looking at him, and showing off (riya') took hold of him, and the showing off continued with him until the end of his prayer. The question is: If we say that the prayer is invalid, is he required to repeat the prayer?

Answer:
No, he does not repeat the prayer, but he receives no reward for it. As for him, he performed the prayer with its conditions, pillars, and obligations, so he is not ordered to repeat it, but he has no reward in it; his reward is invalidated. Yes, the meaning of invalidity here is the invalidity of the reward.
