Is the phrase "Whoever places his eye in the eye of Allah will not be disappointed" correct?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what is the status of the phrase that the common people say: "Whoever places his eye in the eye of Allah will not be disappointed"?

The Shaykh : What?
The student: "Whoever places his eye in the eye of Allah will not be disappointed"?

The Shaykh : I have not heard this phrase. Have you heard it?
The student: (Glorified and Exalted is He) ... .

The Shaykh : No, yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : They say, "Place your eye in the eye of Allah and you will succeed." This is rejected; this is a rejected phrase. Instead of that, we should say what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you. اعبد الله كأنك تراه فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك
Sahih al-Bukhari 50
Yes.
