Question:
The questioner asks: How does a person seek evidence that his righteous deed has been accepted?
Answer:
This is part of the unseen knowledge that no one knows except Allah. One does not know whether it will be accepted from him or not. The Muslim fears that it will not be accepted from him and does not praise himself; rather, he fears that his deed will be rejected. However, he should increase in righteous deeds, have good opinion of Allah the Exalted, and be sincere in his intention. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic, said:[Al-Kahf 18:30]. Yes.

لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا
